TRAVEL AND LIFESTYLE DIARIES

I went to Dresden, Germany in 2017 with a friend (Bubbles) who flew over from Canada to visit me. We did a number of trips in Europe and Dresden was one of the city trips. She wanted to see the beautiful architecture in the city. You can find our Dresden diaries here: Dresden, Germany Trip

 Our last night in Saigon / HCMC was spent with drinks at an upscale historical hotel with a view, followed by some local entertainment on the promenade, and then dinner at the famous roadside restaurants in the Ben Thanh area. A great evening to finish off our trip to HCMC, Vietnam.

 Well, hello! How do you find my Vietnamese cone-shaped straw hat? They are called "Non la" and they go well when you are on a sampan boat :) In 2016, the day after Christmas Day, my parents, my sister, and I went to Saigon / Ho Chi Minh City for a week's trip. It was a city trip but we wanted to taste the country as well so we booked a Mekong Delta Day trip to Ben Tre which is approximately 2 hours down south. Our group was relatively small, all of us fitting in a small van. I like it this way especially when you are travelling with parents that have mobility issues. The tour guide is able to focus well on each of us.

I made this trip back in 2016 with my family and one of the things we did was visit the Bitexco Observatory aka the Saigon Sky Deck.

My second day in Brno was a full day of work topped by a lovely dinner. I will take you through the day. Brno city center.
