The same day as our tour we went to see a Water Puppet show. This is a traditional Vietnamese show, which involves puppets on water acting out famous stories of legend. So we got to see the story of the turtle in the lake, as well as others. There is a live orchestra playing throughout and it really was quite amazing how the puppetiers did some of the movements. We think you have to see it to appreciate what we're talking about.
When we left the theatre the water theme continued outside, as due to a sudden heavy downpour the lake had flooded, so we bid a hasty retreat back to our hotel.
The last photo is one we took at Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum earlier that day, which just shows the gardeners tending the grounds, but we thought was very nice and shouldn't have been left out.
