Cruise ship stop. We booked a quick-and-dirty tourist experience: a pedicab tour. Pedicabs are wheeled, semi-reclining chairs powered from behind by a man on a power-assisted bicycle -- not too exciting until you consider the crazy traffic. Red lights are semi-optional in Vietnam, and there are insane numbers of motorbikes zipping along in any available space between vehicles. So riding through the traffic is a heart-stopping experience until you get a little bit used to it, and then all you can do is laugh.
