Craig's departure for Melbourne

Craig's books a motorbike to visit Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum but unfortunately did not have time to visit the sight of a B52 bomber which crashed during the Vietnam War. Also visits the 'Hanoi Hilton' prison,ironically named as such by USA airmen and soldiers in reference to the brutal treatment meted out to so many during the war.Unashamedly biased from a Vietnamese point of view, the prison held John McCain when he was shot down during the war.
Craig leaves by cab to airport and we then venture out to also visit the same prison, wander round to get a feel of this attractive city.
More later as yours truly has come down with some stomach trouble and I am in 'take-off' position at the hotel computer which is not really conducive to my muse sending pearls of wisdom!
