Day 13 - Saigon

A fairly quiet day today, as much as anything because I seem to have come down with the flu. Drat!





We walked up to the monument for the Buddhist monk who set himself on fire to protest the religious policies of the South Vietnamese government. I mentioned this topic in an earlier post because we had visited the temple in Hue where he was head priest before the drive to Saigon.



We also went for a "fish foot massage". This was an unbelievable experience! We all sat on the edge of a pool with fish in it. The fish swim over and start nibbling at the feet. I cannot begin to describe the sensation, it is awesome. The most fun you can have for $5 I'm sure!!

I'll get some photos onto here once I've copied them from the cameras.

Tomorrow we take the bus to Mui Ne, on the coast about 250km from Saigon. If the weather is good, it is time to lie on the beach for a day or two before going home.
