15: Saigon

We had a short time in Saigon before our "official" tour began: a very late arrival, an overnight stay in a hotel, then a few hours on our own before flying to Hanoi for "Day 1" of our "Grand Tour of Vietnam". This Grand Tour ended with a few days based in Saigon, and that was when most of these photographs (all after the first eight on this page) were taken. It was hot!
