Learner driver

So Mel is officially a learner scooter driver! We went out to a very quiet neighbourhood in District 7 with no one on the roads and she drove for the first time, whoop whoop. After a few more practice sessions, maybe we'll head out to the bustling streets. Maybe.


Before that we had yet another lovely baguette in what is fast becoming our favourite spot in our local park. Ho Chi Minh is full of lovely parks that have beautiful flowers and are kept very clean. With only a few of the outer lying Districts having space for gardens, it's imperative to have good parks. The local schools also use them for their PE lessons since a lot of the schools are in high-rise buildings.

Cheese, lettuce, cucumber, avo and chilli sauce baguette

Lots of lovely trees for much needed shade


Our evening meal was had on the side of the road just down the road from our hotel. Ross had shrimp and macaroni (mac 'n cheese craving anyone?) and Mel had shrimp and rice. Both were delicious and super cheap! After that, we went to the rooftop bar that we went to with Craig on Saturday night, it was just as beautiful as last time.

The rooftop view. We definitely need to go back with our camera (not just
our cell phones) to capture the night lights properly.
