\"\"We had moved things around yesterday because of imminent rain in the Mekong Delta so we had the day to ourselves. Started with a walk around the hotel, the hotel is really central to most of the old town and there is plenty to see.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Coming across the tallest building in HCMC – the Bitexco Tower wikiref here<\/a> we entered and on a whim decided to go to the observation deck – 49 stories high. Marvelous views of the City and the perfect way to spend an hour – see some of the views in the pics page. Our meanderings were interrupted by the rain, which at times was quite intense.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Anyway back to the hotel before going to see the \u201cAO\u201d show a sort of Cirque de Soleil but with a very Vietnamese slant. Lots of bamboo sticks and acrobatics combined with a very good light show produced entertainment for all. The best part of it all was that this performance was in the historic Opera House, a place that we wanted to look at anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before that we had decided to eat at \u201cEddie\u2019s Deli\u201d an American resto dressed up like a 50s diner complete with booths and murals. A piece of Wisconsin dumped into HCMC. Great food – a complete change from noodles and rice.<\/span><\/p>\n
