After the adventures from the previous night of taking Ryan to the ER we woke up late in our nice little guest house.
Today we set out to see sights and learn stuff.
We started at the Reunifaction palace - a 60's styled mega palace complete with a helipad, token tanks on the lawn and a 2 floor concrete bunker full on Churchill style war rooms - all facinating.
After lunch we headed to the War Reminance museum. The hoards of school children ruined it slightly but it was a chilling experinace nethertheless.
We saw tiger cages, deformed unborn baby in a jar from the effects of agent orange and numerous photos taken during the war. All very gut wrenching.
From then we look some light relief and the covered markets. The the heaven opened and it rained like something out of teh bible. Rats and cockroaches were coming out of the drains and teh roads turned to rivers in a minute.
We thought we were stranded but within an hour all the water had gone and the skies cleared.
Impressive.
