Saturday, January 2 – Drat. Drat. Drat. One thing we really wanted to do in Hanoi was to visit the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and see his embalmed body.
Yeah, it’s macabre and honestly, who really knows if it’s actually him or just some wax replica, but it would have been a good memory to have.
Unfortunately, I didn’t read the guidebook closely enough. It turns out the Mausoleum is only open for a couple of hours in the morning. So by the time we got there, the tomb was closed. We did get photos from outside the mausoleum, but that’s probably the biggest regret of the trip.
Still, if that’s the biggest regret, we’re not doing too bad.
