The Reunification Palace, Saigon.

I was told before i arrived here that it was only worth about an hour's visit, as there really wasnt anything here to see. I found that to be wrong, and ebded up staying about 2.5 hours, but then again, i was fascinated y the whole place, and found it great to wonder around.

Located on Nam Ky Khoi Nghia Street in District 1, it is literally a stone's throw from the War Remnants Museum, and the Catheral and Post Office. Open everyday, but closed at lunch times, the cost was 30,000VND ($1/£0.55) It was the most expensive museum that i came across in the whole of Vietnam, but thought it was actually worth the money. The whole place is free to wonder around, no guides, but then again i dont think you need any guides as it is all in English everywhere.

Its an interesting insight into the life of the President/s of Vietnam during the war years.

The Presidents Bedroom.........................................

This is the staircase that runs directly from either the Presidents main bedroom or Office(cant remember which), and straight into the underground bunker......................

Thought it a little strange that he guy had an ice cream maker in his palace....................................
