Back into Ho Chi Minh for two nights before a short flight to a little oasis island. And of course once in Vietnam you have to have one of their coffees. So yum! We found this lovely little coffee shop just down the road from where we were staying and their coffee was kept warm by placing the drinking cup inside the bigger cup with hot water. Waiting for it to drip through is hard...as the aroma is already wafting up and you can see the coffee falling into the cup. But patience is a virtue and it is certainly worth the wait.
Vietnam wouldn't be the same without it wiring infrastructure. I am still puzzled on how they know which wire is the problem wire. Below this guy was another one telling him what to do!
It still astounds me what they can put onto their bikes and it balances and they can ride them. This lady was surprised and amused that I took a photo of her bike. her job is to go around and pick up the rubbish which she loads into the sacks and baskets attached to her bike.
It's no problem if your Honda bike breaks down, you just go to the pavement mechanic and he will fix it.
I couldn't temp Wayne to have a shave on the sidewalk. This guy seemed to be legit as he had his number painted onto the wall. 
Although we have been to Ho Chi Minh previously we had never been inside the Post Office, this time we did and we were astounded at the beauty of it. It had booths for all sorts of things needed to be done at a Post Office. A beautiful building inside and out.
Wandering along one of the roads was this tree attached to a wall. From a distance it looks like it is painted onto the wall but as you can see it offers a shadow and shade.
Lottery ticket sellers are everywhere. This lady was sitting in the shade and the bikes were rushing past her.
Selling fans on the street, was tempted to buy but settle for a photo of her instead. People here always seem to be working at something to make ends meet. They always have a ready smile.
Another superb building - this time the Opera House. Incredible structure right in the middle of Ho Chi Minh.
Loading up the motor bike for deliveries. The lady is holding the bike while he stacks the boxes on. There is just enough room left for the the driver!
And when you have had enough of work your bike makes a lovely pillow for a snooze!
Where is the driver...somewhere in the middle of all these vegetables.While in Ho chi Minh we saw lots, ate lots and walked lots. We found Pho 24 for yummy local food and also a Barbecue Garden where you cook your own local food. Both were good and cheap to eat at.
The place was so lovely and food was delicious! and we just had to finish the meal of with a banana pancake.
