The day that the rain came down



Thursday 19 December

I went for another walk, taking in the opera house, post office, cathedral and an outside exhibition of photos commemorating the late General Giap before arriving at the Saigon River bank. 









 







I went on to the Independence Palace which was very interesting and seemed to have a fairly even-handed set of descriptions.




During my visit there was a cloudburst that trapped visitors until after other museums were closing, so I called it a day and went back to the hotel before eating and having a beer people-watching at one of the bars that line the street where my hotel is. It seems to be the drinking quarter of Saigon!
