Last night we came back to the hotel briefly before going in search of a bar, we finally settled on one which had a free football table, we played a couple of games then Rob and I challenged another couple of Brits, we comfortably won. We were going to challenge a couple of locals but we would have lost horrifically so decided against it. This morning we visited the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum , we walked towards it but we were abruptly forced to turn around and go towards the correct entrance, we followed the perimeter and half an hour later we got there, we didn't want to queue for ages so left again (time well spent). We left to go to the Botanical Gardens (a large averagely kept lawn with a couple of trees and two large puddles), there was certainly nothing too special about it. After climbing a tree we weren't meant to we left to go even further North. Further North was the Tran Quoc Pagoda, a Buddhist temple with a tower, it was nice to tick it off the list but I don't think we will be making a return visit. Later we tried to go back to the Mausoleum but they had shut so we went to find lunch. We chose one for its beer prices, a 480ml bottle for 8000 Dong (25p), something I could happily get used to.
