Ho Ci Min City aka Saigon

This morning we flew from Danong down to Ho Chi Min City also known as Saigon. It is the largest city in Vietnam with over 10 million residents. It is a much more developed city than Hanoi with quite a western feeling and many high rise buildings. However the roads are just as chaotic and congested, possibly a bit worse the Hanoi as the are far more cars.

After lunch in a noodle bar we had a tour of the Unification Palace, a 1960's building used by the leaders of south Vietnam during the war. We then moved on to the War Remnants Museum, a quite sobering and difficult to look at exhibition featuring the war atrocities during the Vietnam American war. 

We also visited the catholic cathedral and the Saigon Post Ofice.
