Had a nice sleep in till 9am, after breakfast we packed our ever growing backpacks and checked out of our hotel. Set off for Bangkok airport at lunchtime to catch our 3.30pm flight to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam! The flight was only 1.5 hours and we would have liked to stay on it longer, it was a long haul flight from Istanbul to Ho Chi Minh via Bangkok so we just jumped on the last part of the flight! Watched a funny movie called the Sitter and had a cheeky bottle of red wine. Once we went through immigration and eventually sorted our visas, we decided to wait at the shopping mall across the road until Dani's flight arrived at 9pm. It was boiling when we arrived so I decided to put the jumper I was wearing into my rucksack, that's when I noticed my padlock was missing from my case! I opened my case and saw a parcel I didn't recognise in my bag, we completely freaked out worried about what might be in there and didn't know whether to just walk out the airport. We were worried we looked suspicious and nervous because we were sweating, so we told a security guard who sent us to lost and found (I don't think he understood). We explained the situation to the lady on the desk and handed the parcel over that we hadn't dared to touch, turned out it was some sort of bra! Scariest few minutes of my life, I thought I was going to get locked up.
Dani arrived about 9.30pm and we jumped into a taxi to our hotel 'Beautiful Saigon' in the Pham Ngu Lao area of town, this is known as the backpacker area. Hotel is lovely, early night for us! Great to be together the 3 of us!
