Saigon Sunday


We started the day with a walk to the park, collecting some passing donuts on the way. 


A still photo just doesn't capture the beauty of the whirlygig man's bike - beauty amongst chaos. He's here every weekend and makes more windmills while he's waiting for sales. 


Walking around district 1 we came upon a display in another park. The lanterns looked gorgeous, even in the daylight. 


 After a spot of shopping we enjoyed some cocktails at the Hotel Majestic. Built in 1925, it's a splendid building riverside and has fantastic views of the river. 





This party boat was getting ready to leave as we left the hotel. 


We called into the Co-op on the way home, and found out that this weeks' promotion/entertainment is Koko the koala - not sure exactly what he's promoting, but he gave us a friendly wave when he could see I was taking his photo.
