My mum and I really enjoyed the trip out by Jeep (old US war one) to the My Son Sanctuary....albeit getting up at 5am! It was well worth it though, to see the sunrise on the way there,visiting a small village on the way...and to escape the crowds who arrive just as We were leaving. We had the place to ourselves....which was great....managed to walk around the ancient sight with our guide Phi....she was explaining things, but also let us have our own time to view and soak up the atmosphere. Attentive without being too much, she was great. And funny.
A lunch was provided at an outdoor/indoor restaurant within the grounds of the UNESCO sight...nice simple lunch and Vietnamese coffee.
We also asked to stop at the Lotus fields on the way back...since we had the Jeep to ourselves....and Phi explained about those as well. Great day out! Would like to thank the driver (Huang(?) also. he was a great driver :) They dropped us off directly to our hotel...just in time for a siesta after lunch!
