Now of course I could go through and say most of the places I stay at are just a quick snap shot of what is truly there to discover; but, I actually got the opportunity at the end of my Contiki Big Indochina Tour to spend some time, 8 days to be exact, in Ho Chi Minh. Hence, I will save the finer details about this city for that post.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Vlog #13:<\/span> Contiki Big Indochina Adventure: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam<\/h2>\n<p>httpvh:\/\/youtu.be\/FRBeTpKXDIQ<\/p>\n<p>In the meanwhile, please do enjoy some of the lovely must-see tourist attractions included in this blog post, like the <strong> Notre-Dame Basilica<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Notre Dame Cathedral - Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/33736956@N08\/7022951187\/\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm7.staticflickr.com\/6054\/7022951187_3ddcd0f0c7_b.jpg\" alt=\"Notre Dame Cathedral - Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Complete with a perfectly timed <em>just married <\/em>photo op!
