Hulloo :) we got up bright and early this morning to collect our beloved clothes from the laundry place (highly necessary considering we each only had pyjamas and a maxi dress each) and of course after following my brilliant map for 20 mins we discovered that we were heading to completely the wrong place..the actual place was 2 mins around the corner from our hotel! Once we got there (yes still in our pjs) we were informed it would be another 20 minutes..great. Lesson learnt: don't send off all your clothes to be laundered at the same time.
At 9 we set off to walk to Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum and after a bit of a trek got there to find that it was closed. Splendid. Never the less we enjoyed visiting Ho Chi Minh's house and the palaces and topped off the morning being those annoying tourists who talk to much and take stupid pictures..had to be done to annoy the guards! Flip flop throwing Olympics, spelling out HANOI and taking what the others called a 'retard photo' ensued and the 8 of us managed to make complete fools of ourselves, result.
We then decided we fancied seeing a film so decided to head towards one the other end of town on foot as we were all too broke to take a taxi! An hour and a bit later we reached the damn cinema. All credit goes to Lasse though for getting us there! It was rather lovely being in a huge western shopping centre (similar to the Kingston Bentall centre) - made us feel very at home. The cinema was great on the top floor and in a leap of faith we decided to try 'movie 43'. Only problemo was that the best viewing was in half an hour and we were rather peckish so we grabbed some tickets and ran down to Pizza Hut. Half an hour later were still waiting for our pizzas and so were a little late to join the film..!! Wolfing down the pizza only took 4 minutes between us! Movie 43 though was the weirdest film we had ever seen. No kidding. We thought the puppet show was strange but this was on a whole new level! Great cast including Halle berry, Hugh jackman, Emma stone and Kate winslet but very weird film with a bunch of shorts. Very very rude too!! Far too rude for the little 3 year old behind me too!! Warning if you go see this film!
Just got back and have found another pirates of the carribean on tv :) last supper tonight! So so sad but we're sure we'll all keep in touch :)
