A Long Walk

Just back from a long walk down to the Saigon River via a lot of very busy streets!

It was 32 degrees when we left the hotel about 8.30am and I am sure it got hotter.

We walked over to the park across the road from the hotel and saw people using the free gym equipment placed there. Then found our way along a small street where shops mainly sold antiques - I am sure that few were genuine!

Eventually we got onto a street which had more upmarket shops and found Starbucks so we stopped for a drink. Able to get free WiFi there and picked up a message from Suzanne so were able to have a conversation with her.

Walked further down a very wide street towards the river and found we could cross the road very carefully!  People here do not seem to recognise red lights and pedestrian crossings! Walked along the riverbank some way then found our way to the Opera House which is a lovely building in the midst of a wealthy area which includes top shops and expensive hotels.

Eventually found our way back to the hotel for a rest.
