Hi,


Next chapter of my journey started in Hoi Chi Man City
aka Saigon. Arrived in the city via bus from Cambodia.....also made a
quick pit stop and ate some spiders (tasted like roasted crisps) and
crickets (taste like dates)!

Arrived in Saigon.......mayhem
everywhere!! So many motorbikes flying around and so danger...

DAY 1

- After leaving sydney, the flight to Darwin was pretty crazy in itself, you would look at the window every 5 mins to changed scenery....provokes me to travel the rest of Australia one day soon!

- The excitement really only set in when we were flying over Saigon at night, the city is freakn enormous, and you could see the th...

We are back in HCMC after a beautiful experience in Cambodia. The bus ride there however long was very enjoyable. I never thought I would use the word enjoyable to describe a 13 hr bus ride. The country side was filled with small wooden houses perched upon stilts. (Not unlike the cabin just smaller and without glass windows) All day long we coul...

Saigon! Yet another bus journey, mui ne to Saigon this time and i am reeving myself up for the shock of Saigon. After spending a fair bit of time in small towns i think it's going to be a bit of a shock to then system to be in a huge city again with millions of mota bikes... We roll in two hours late and most of that was spent in traffic queuing...

Crossing the street in Saigon is akin to a game of Frogger. The amount of motorcycles and scooters is bewildering. Drivers come in two shades. Some are patient and friendly, willing to slow down or move over for the weary pedestrian. Others simply charge ahead without so much giving you a look. Obviously, crossing the street in this city can be ...

We decided to sleep in because our bed is so comfortable. Having no outside window doesn't make it any easier to get up. Our room is pretty dark with the lights off. We finally got up and went for some breakfast/lunch at Brew Brothers. They have free wifi there, so we took advantage of that. I had a super large coffee and a club sandwich. Zoe ha...

Liebe Freunde, Der erste Tag in Saigon hatte es in sich, wir sind vor Lachen fast gestorben. Neugierig gemacht? Dann schaut die nächsten Tage wieder rein, denn die Geschichte wird auf jeden Fall noch gepostet. Aber jetzt müsen wir weiter, denn wir fliegen heute nach Phu Quoc weiter und werden die Füße endlich in den Sand stecken! Dear friends, T...

I did a few organized tours while in Ho Chi Minh City. There was a lot of history to learn about. I went to the War Remnants Museum which had displays about the Vietnam War. It was a very imoving experience. I also booked a tour to see the Mekong Delta. The tour included a stop at a laquerware factory. Once at the Mekong Delta we saw how coconut...

We amble off the plane into the hot, sweaty air of Vietnam after more time than usual figuring out the money situation. For the first time in our lives, we're millionaires! The exchange rate for the Vietnamese Dong (insert your own dirty joke here) is 16,000 for one US Dollar, and since we're going to be here a week, we've withdrawn over a milli...

well the inevitable has happened--we both gave in and bought completely unpractical items and are now stuck carrying them around. We found some great teasets in HCMC and decided we would buy them and send them home from there, along with some other things that have been slowly accumulating. Well the next day in the city, we procrastinated allll ...
