Just when we thought we were getting over the atrocities of the shocking War Museum in Saigon we visited the Killing Fields. It is unbelievable what we saw, the thousands of skulls, the huge open graves and for every person found there are still 450 missing. Depressed & miserable as we were we continued on to put ourselves through more by visiting what was the high school until it was turned into Tuol Sleng Prison of the most extreme torture unimaginable. An incredibly sobering day.
So there was only one thing to do and that was to start the Happy Hour with the $2 cocktails. As Kathryn had lost her glasses during the day (only cheap ones) Mike had to read her the entire cocktail menu plus ingredients. She finally chose one and was most amused to discover it was a Cosmopolitan. After 2 lovely cocktails in a very nice place Kathryn headed off to the toilet as a rat scampered in front of her and entered the kitchen!
Headed home after a nice Thai meal. The weather is so wonderful for sightseeing - 20- 23 degrees and overcast, but not good when you have paid for a private pool. However we forced ourselves to grin & bear the colder evening temperature just so we could say we had used it!
