“Quality Budget Accommodation in Saigon”
Great Hotel, across the road from Ben Tanh Markets, the location in District 1 is fantastic, the room was small but pleasant enough and clean for the price, this was a bargain. Staff were polite and helpful. and the view from the breakfast room was exceptional as was the breakfast. Highly recommended for those traveling on a tight budget.

Ho Chi Minh City (or Saigon or HCM City or HCMC)
At the end of our boat trip, we were picked up by our next guide, Tam. He was to take us to Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon. It is also known as HCM City, or HCMC.

Each boat has a bamboo pole showing a sample of the fruit or vegetable which it is selling so that people can see where they need to go. There are lots of little boats rushing around in between selling …
Day 1 - Brisbane / Singapore / Ho Chi Minh City
It's now 10 pm Vietnam time (1.00 am Brisbane). Greg has fallen asleep watching a really bad Vietnamese soapy. It's been a long day, woken at 4.45 am by a Bon Voyage text (from Sue I think - no-one else would be be up then). Sandra took us to the airport where we had breakfast and did some duty free shopping (champagne - yay!). We had a good flight …
Day 2 - Cu Chi Tunnels
I woke up during the night and realised that I had used the wrong PIN at the ATM last night. Greg woke at 5 am (it's going to kill me if he keeps this up for the next 4 weeks), so we went around to the ATM to try again. Being chicken of the traffic, we thought we'd go early so there wouldn't be too much traffic when we had to cross the road. We …
