Took a tuk-tuk to Capitol to catch our bus to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). Unlike our previous experiences taking buses, it left right on time. The border crossing at Moc Bai was uneventful and easy. About an hour later we were in HCMC, the bus stopped right on the main tourist drag, Pham Ngu Lao. Right when we got off the bus a woman greeted us touting the availability of rooms in her guesthouse. So we thought why not and went to take a look, if this placed turned out to be okay, it would beat walking around searching. She led us into this alley off the main drag to My My Art Hotel. It was pretty cute, she said that it was only 5 months old…who knows. It was clean and pretty reasonably priced the 2 most important qualities, we stayed. We walked around for a while, stopped at Allez Boo for a beer. Walked to Sinh Café to book Cu Chi Tunnels and Cao Dai Cathedral day tour, and a 2 day Mekong Delta trip. Had pho for dinner and had drinks at Eden and GO2 Bar. We ended the night with fresh Vietnamese beer (bia hoi), the
cheapest drink you can get, 4 glasses for less than a dollar!
