After perfect dinner, motorbike shooting in the morning, meeting with a wonderful freshly cooked meal we had to leave for the airport. Less than 24h in HCMC but thanks to our partner very nice ones.

Of course I had my camera ready when we went to the airport. I was very happy to be able to take a couple of pictures of the lady with the bananas wearing the traditional hat and I was impressed by the amount of tires the guy in the second image has packed on his scooter. Compared to a car or even SUV the cargo space on this small motor bikes seems unlimited.DSCF5165FUJIFILM X-Pro1 (14mm, f/5, 1/500 sec, ISO400)

We stopped for some nice green drinks. The looked like green smoothies but surprisingly the tasted really good. I guess they were not as healthy as the ones my wife and I produce at home.

Cargo space of the scooters seems to be unlimited but also the max. weight. Just look at the guy in the background. And that’s nothing compared to what I have seen in Hanoi. But that’s another story.
