Day 14 Saigon-Da Lat

It's the end of the tour today, and 6 of us finish up with a cooking class. First is a market visit, where we see an amazing array of fresh fruit and veg, most of which is flown in daily from Da Lat (Kay and Ian's next destination). Also pigs and cows in all sorts of pieces - udder anyone? - and lots of fish, shrimp, snails, frogs etc. Men run around delivering 45kg blocks of ice to keep it all fresh. It's a short taxi ride to the Vietnamese Cooking School where individual cooking stations are set up, with most of the ingredients ready prepped for us. We make banana flower salad, caramelised chicken, coconut rice and savoury pancakes: yum yum. Easy enough to prepare with the help of many staff who whisk away our dirty dishes. A sweet mung bean and coconut soup is our sort-of delicious dessert!
Kay and Ian leave on a 5pm flight, the others visit the museums,markets, parks and shops before flying out at 10. So where's the next Probus trip to, Gail?!
