Saigon Day 5: Ben Thay Markets

After breakfast we packed up and checked out. This place is nice and stores our bags until our taxi arrives as well as allowing us to wait there and use the amenities. 

We grabbed a cab and headed out to the Ben Thay markets, these are more wholesale markets and aren't filled with tourists like the other markets around town. You can bargain better there too. I got a few things for my parents and Nicola was looking for some beads. 

We then headed back to Saigon square and Nicola grabbed a few things while I looked around and dodged stall holders. We said good bye to some of the students at KOTO and got a smoothie before heading back to the hotel to cool down and rest before our flight to Da Lat. 

Da lat is comparatively cold to Saigon, we landed and it was 20 Celsius rather than closer to 30. Exploring tomorrow
