Had arranged to meet Laura at 9am to go to the war museum but after last night we had to postpone it till 1pm as neither of us could get out of bed!! Haha! Eventually got up, packed my bag (I hate packing!) and checked out of my room. Jumped in a taxi to the war museum, cost me less than a pound and it meant I didn't get lost!! Grabbed a coffee and a panini for sustenance (I thought there were lots of coffee shops in Australia, they are literally every other shop here!!)
Paid less than a pound to get into the museum, started at the top and worked our way down and I was really shocked. Don't know much about the Vietnam war (or as they call it here, the American war) except what I have seen in Forrest Gump, but it was just horrendous. The photos and the stories were just so sad, I had no idea. Was a really interesting place but I was thoroughly depressed by the end of it. Glad I went though.
Had a little walk to see the Notre Dame Cathedral and then went into a department store to get a bit of air con!! Jumped in a taxi back to the hostel to have a shower and had a quick nap. Got picked up at 7 and I am now sitting in the airport waiting to fly North to Hanoi. Arrive at midnight and I am booked on a party cruise for 2 days at 8 in the morning tomorrow!!!! Living the dream!!
