Got up and packed and played cards while we waited on our bus.Laundry was still wet and smelt foosty so we refused to pay full price and told her she was a fud!!Unfortunatley she was not familiar with this term and probably thought we were commending her on her fine job and that she would make a good wife one day!!! 5 hrs to Ho Chi Minh city and arrived at around 7pm and started hunting for accomodation.This took 2 hrs as it was new yr and the city was stowed out.We found ourselves a classy establishment and me and Sue had a room with a sparkly headboard, mirrors on every wall and comndoms everywhere.A w****'s paradise PERFECT! :o) Dumped our bags, took a shower and went for dinner at 1030pm.We went to a guns n roses bar for drinks and pool and then to the Go Bar for more drinks.Ross and Sean went to buy fags and as soon as they were gone Laney and Sue were bombarded by a bunch of Brazilian footballers.Not that we are complaining!!Got rid of them when the boys returned and went home about 3am.

Got up at 12pm and went to the market but it was keech and a total sweat fest so we had KFC for lunch and went to buy booze for ou wee party at the hotel.Back to the hotel and started drinkin and got ready.Tanned a bottle of voddy and loads of beer and went to the street party.Far too busy so we worked our way thru the crowds and went to another bar at 2300hrs.Took in new year and danced till 8am.Sean was wasted, Ross got a Vietnamese chick called Trang and we all made friend with the whole of Saigon.Party continued at the hotel when we got 2 more bottles of wine at the 7/11 and danced till 3pm before we crashed and burned till 10pm.Got up and went for food and went back to bed again.

Me and Sue got up and went for food and left the boys sleeping.Did some internet crap and booked our trips to the Cu Chi tunnels and took the boys to KFC then onto the war museum.This was V.interesting but V. depressing.Agent Orange andf Napalm destroyed so many live and still is.I reckon we should hit the U.s with it and see if they can cope.Back to hotel to get ready and as we are waiting on Ross we heard the thundering of heels coming up the stairs.Now im sure Ross wasn't wearing heels when he went for a shower.thump thump on the door and hey ho it's wee Trang ( ross's winch from new year).The 2 of em went for dinner and me sean and Sue went out but came home early for bed.
Thursday 3rd Jan -
Roastin hot and couldn't sleep Laney got the troops up for the bus @ 7am for the Cu Chi Tunnels.Very interesting day with a good guide.It was really hot and cramped in the tunnels and must have been hard work for the Vietcong but i would have stuck it out if it meant you coupld have popped a cap or better still a grenade in a yanks ass.when we got back the boys crashed out and we did some laundry, internet and changed some cash.came back with a cold beer for unnappreciative boys.Can't hack the Scottish pace!Laney and the Bald went for some cocktails as the boyus checked the net and by the time they came along we were well on our way to merrydom!We stayed out all night talkin jibberish till we got kicked out the club at 4am and befriended some european guys so sat at a street cafe with them till 7am.this about the right time to go get the boys up for our boat trip up the Mekong.We were fooked but struggled thru the day.
Friday 4th Jan-
Went to the Mekong Delta by bus and Laney was burstin for a pee half way there and asked the driver to stop.He kept saying 10 mins 10mins, but she was in real pain.Susan had great advice and told her to think of something else.Aye right then 'If a Thai boxer had his knee stuck in ur stomach with his full body weight on you' would you be able to think of sweet smelling flowers blowin in the wind?Naw i didnae hink so.!! welll that's what this feels like.as we pull over at our first rest stop Laney has pushes Sean out of the way and before the doors are open she is cross legged at the top of the steps.More of a shuffle than a run she made her way to the lavvy and relieved her poor wee bladder.There were a few laughs from the locals and other passengers but Laney took it like a true Scot and laughed along too.The Mekong Island were really niceand we saw them makin coconut sweets and holding big snakes.All too much for us drunken bums so we just concentrated on staying alive for the day.Got back to Saigon for our laundry and packed, got dinner and bought cool hats and went to Bobby Brewers to watch 'I am Legend'pish movie - don't waste yer time watchin it.Then BED wooohooo!!!
