South Vietnam 2011

Saigon City proved less interesting than Hanoi, and American influence was strong.

The Cu Chi Tunnels were an amazing and humbling experience, at times making it feel like we'd stepped back into the war of the 1960's

The Presidential Palace was amazing, lots of memorabilia and history within.

Lots of propaganda and beggars. Not a place we'd wish to return to.

A beautiful, peaceful cathedral in the heart of Saigon.

Fantastic architecture of lots of interesting history and facts.

We spent a day on the Mekong, seeing cottage industries and sights. Don't let the canoe guys con you into doing all the paddling!
