[Tue 27 March 2007 - Back home]
Last day we skipped the horrendous hotel breakfast and rode on a 'cyclo' (pronounced as see-clo) to Ben Thanh Market for my last bowl of Banh Canh Cua. Jv tried a bowl of Pho (beef noodle). We had Banh Xeo (pancake) and large grilled tiger prawns as well.

I continued with my shopping at Ben Thanh Market, spending whatever Vietnamese Dong that's left in my wallet on souvenirs. Bought a painting and a straw hat. We returned to the coffee beans store we'd been on day 1 to buy another kilogramme of coffeebeans.
So many to choose from
We bought the two most popular and expensive

Before leaving for Tan Son Nhat International Airport, we had a mixed fruit shake at Allez Boo Bar (recommended by Lonely Planet).
