We decided to venture 13kms south to Ho Chi Minh Trail museum. After an hour or so driving we found it closed for renovation. By hanging around and generally infiltrating the work site we eventually were given access to several rooms of dusty relics and old black and white photos.
On the return trip we decided to visit Van Phuc silk village where we allegedly could get coffee and food. Ducking the rain we found a little beer joint where after some polite non-communication over the menu we eventually watched someone select a live fish and bash it for our lunch (turned out to be quite tasty. We also had roast chicken (oddly the feet were left behind by our group) and green weed. The house cats were pleased with our Falung eating style - enjoying everything that hit the floor.
May nap for a bit before dinner.
