em and ems adventure

Day 5 - This morning we went and visited Ho Chi Minh himself! It was amazing to see the much loved and respected leader of Vietnam! We were all nervous about seeing the body but he merely looked asleep. After this we went and saw the house he lived in during the war and there was one thing we discovered, Ho Chi Minh lead a very modsest life, his house wasnt extravagant! Just before lunch we travelled to the 'Hanoi Hilton' which is Hanoi's former prison.Inside the prison we saw models of prisoners in cells and how they had there feet tied down. In the afternoon we went on a cyclo tour! This was so much fun! It is a really fascinating way to see the 'Old Quater' because your experiencing it the way the local people would!  Following this we visited the Water Puppet Theatre which was very intriging!
