Onward from Saigon

We had flown into Saigon (officially Ho Chi Minh City though almost everyone calls the city by its former name. Not out of disrespect for Ho, but because you just can't change the name of a city and expect the change to take hold!

Anyway, we walked around the city from our Saigon hotel. First to the Reunification Palace (former residence and seat of government while there was a "South Vietnam") and toured that. The large building has been maintained just as it was when the country was divided, and I'll come back to this after I prepare some more photos.

Then we went to the Viet Nam History Museum. I think we took a cab back after that, and flew off to Ha Noi the next day.
