Day 11, Sunday, 3/23/25, Ho Chi Minh City

Get to sleep in today but we don’t. Up at 7 AM. Leisurely breakfast in the hotel garden. Then back to the room and pack up. We’ll be flying to Ho Chi Minh City at one PM. On the bus at 10:45 AM.

We get to the airport and check our bags. Then we find a light meal. I have spring rolls. It’s a 2 hour flight to Ho Chi Minh City. A driver is waiting for us with a van. We are a group of 9. This turns out to be our core group.

We arrive at the Liberty Hotel and unload. But it turns out that Elee and I are not staying here. We are booked at Elios Hotel. Lucky for us it’s next door. But we are broken out of the group which is disturbing. It will turn out that we are in the better hotel. We apparently booked this trip before everybody else did and the Elios has sold out in the meantime. At least we have the WhatsApp Group.

So we stay in touch and 6 of us go to dinner at De Tham restaurant, only 2 blocks away. My meat is cooked in a Bamboo container! Dinner is fabulous and Jon buys for all of us. Thanks Jon! I also spy a display of bottled water. The name is quite interesting! Makes one not want to drink it!

Back to the room for the night. See you tomorrow!
