Stop at Ho Chi Minh
Trail military museum revealed another fascinating insight into the
other side and the tenacity at the difficult task of moving men and
equipment under the rain of bombs intended to stop them. "The
Glorious Heroes intending to unify Vietnam against the puppet
regime" Next a drive further inland to the tourist village of
the Thai People who migrated her in the 1400,s The itin says
this is "an Insider special Experience" Accommodation Marae style
very different from the hotels one normally enjoys and expects on
tour and escapes to at night - fans only - shared bathroom -
down stairs not great however as we are the only 2 guests they gave
each one of the small rooms off the main shared sleeping area -
where to 40 could easily sleep. Regretfully a local died just
a few metres down the road so our evening entertainment was
cancelled and despite that our local hosts are distinctly
in-hospitable - but it is all an experience. While out for a walk
met a traveler stranded with a broken motor bike he bought cheap to
travel Vietnam. Well it is the 13th!
