February 10, 2010 Vung Tau (Phu My), Viet Man
The exchange rate $1 equals 27,564 Vietnamese Dong
The ship’s tour took us to the National History Museum which included water puppetry (neither were impressive), Notre Dame Cathedral, the Reunification Hall (once the Presidential Palace where April 30, 1975 marked the end of the Viet Man War. We did have an enjoyable meal that took over 1 ½ hours (twice the time needed). We were to have up to three hours of walking but got less than ½ hour and half of that was at the lunch hotel. The tour office told Jan we would ample time to do what we wanted as we would be in the area, hence no Hard Rock Café pin. We spent 80 to 90% of the time including forever riding through China Town. We complained to the tour office to no avail.
