GOING LOCAL

Rice paper spring roll vendor. This lady makes delicious spring rolls. Ignorance is bliss though. It is better not to see what is going into the spring roll.














This vendor sells the most delicious mealies on a stick.















Tonight we decided to go to a local restaurant for dinner. About 18 of us set off from our hostel to the restaurant. On arrival, Joachim said "Oh, I do hope this isn't the place". These tables and chairs are definitely not designed for Westerners with their huge bodies and long legs. Jo had his legs wrapped around his ears.














We had the most delicious Pho Bo. Vietnam is famous for this beef noodle soup. We rounded it off with Sinto's (fruit smoothies).















Yum yum















Ally, Jo and Co, digging in. Even Coco enjoyed the meal. Jo said it was the best meal he has had so far.














It was great to have a multi-cultural dinner. We had South Africans, Australians, Japanese, Canadians and Germans with us.














Llewellyn likes this soup so much that he has it for breakfast and dinner every day. He just can't get enough.

  1. I would said that someone has not been to Viet Nam unless he tries the Pho Bo. It seems that brother Lle is addicted to Pho Bo and half Vietnamese....
