What a nightmarethis border crossing was!!!!!!!!!
We left Shanioukville - Cambodia at 7 am and didn't get in to Ho Chi Min City (Saigon) until 10.30PM + We got a minibus to the border, shame it was the wrong crossing........ then althoughsaid minibus was meant to take us all the way, it then decided to burger off...... leaving us to walk through the border ourself and decide our next move.
We walked for about 2km to a bus station (getting hassle all the way as it was obviously not a common occurence to hve western faces there) We then got on motorbikes WITH our huge backpacks (such fun!!!) and got to the right border and bus station.
We then hired a minibus to take us to Saigon and finally arrived and pitched in to our room!
The next day we hoppe across to a better hotel and booked a tour of the Me Kong Delta which was a laugh and i helda MASSIVE python, saw how they made Coconut candy and took a boat tour.
Tomorrow i am off to visit the tunnels dug during the vietamese war and o read up on some history, then its booking a bus and slowly making our way to hanoi in the north (1,700km!!!!!!!!!!! eeek!) But should be an interestin journey!
Speak soon xxx
