Hey guys,
Us again. . . . We hope you are all well? What have you all been up to? Any news for us?? Let us know on our message board!
So we arrived in Ho Chi Minh City or (Sai Gon as it is also known) today at 15:00...woo! And me and Lauren are now millionaires!! No seriously...we are! Vietnam Dong have such large sums of money that roughly 40 pounds, would give us a milion dong!
So since our last blog we have been up to quite a lot ...as always! We were in a beautiful town in Cambodia called Sihanoukville. It had a beautiful beach with lots of restaurants and bars! We went out for dinner one night on the sand with the sun setting behind us. It was beautiful! Then we went to a nightclub and the next day was spent hungover on the beach sunbathing. . . sorry if i am rubbing it in lol.
So we spent two nights in that town and then we started our journey to Vietnam. All 16 of us loved Cambodia and werent really ready to leave! Although very poor and desperate for money, the majority of Cambodians are very friendly and happy to talk to us.
We arrived to the Vietnam border to cross and our tour guide forgot to get himself a Vietnamese visa!! The pleb! So we had to carry on to Vietnam without him. Apparently he is going to be here tonight but we are not sure. . .We finish our part of the tour tomorrow, which is kind of sad becuase we have all got on really well as a group. . . but it means that we will be on our own to travel Vietnam. . . .uh oh lol!
We stayed in a border town last night in Vietnam as it was too much to travel all the way to Ho Chi Minh all in one day. Hotel and area wasnt great and there wasnt anything to do. Not really a great first impression to Vietnam, especially after how much we fell in love with Cambodia.
So we have two nights in this hotel, the second will be on our own as the rest of the group move on tomorrow. I have got their itinery for Vietnam so i think we are going to follow that lol. Going to the pothole tunnels in the morning which should be wicked! Off to have dinner and a few drinks as our last night together :(
Hope your all well, and please keep us updated with news at home!
Love you and miss you all. Peace out
