Reunification Palace

After the Museum we met up with a couple from near Manchester and went for drinks and a chinwag with them.
Later we went to the Reunification Palace, essentially the seat of power for the Republic Of Vietnam until that title ceased to exist on the day in 1975 when VC tanks rolled through the gates. The building remains pretty much as it was on that day and it's fascinating to spend a few hours strolling through history. The war rooms in the basement are particularly spooky.
Afterwards we walked to the famous Rex Hotel and booked a couple of nights there. We plan to spend our last two nights in Vietnam in style!
