Escape Room in Ho Chi Minh City

It was my mates birthday and he wanted to do this activity called 'escape room'. As the name suggests, you have to escape from a room. Its a bit like the crystal maze except there are no crystals, no Richard O'Brien and you get one hour to escape.

We chose the toughest one, it was a Sherlock Holmes room. The rooms were very funky! We had to escape a train. Below are pictures from in the room. It was basically number related clues that make you unlock a padlock to get the next clue to the next padlock. 

It was really tough and we didn't' solve any of the clues. They were pretty abstract and on top of that, one of the locks was broken so we'd never have been able to unlock it. The lady told us after that no one had ever got out that room, which is not really a surprise. 

It was good fun and only about a fiver per person. I may go back again and start with the 'Alice in Wonderland' room which is a bit easier.

Around Can Tho, Vietnam

The center of Can Tho is quite nice and it reminds me of Ho Chi Minh City at TET when everyone leaves. It was pretty quite and had a nice river.

The town was nice too. There was a few good restaurants and a big statue of Ho Chi Minh waving.

Back to the city and back to work tomorrow. I think we'll do a similar break to this again.

Can Tho, views from our hotel

We booked into quite a posh hotel and were on one of the high floors. As there are not many big buildings in Can Tho, we got some great views from around the countryside. 

As you can see, it was very nice and this is a hotel we would definitely come back to for a long weekend.
