Here we are finally in Ho Chi Minh or Saigon as it was known! Actually glad to be out of Kuala Lumpar
On arrival in Vietnam we had to wait for our visas which were relatively simple and quick! It meant all the Que. for immigration had gone and ours were the only two bags left on the luggage belt but we were only 20 mins waiting!
First impressions.........crazy city! We saw about 50 million billion mopeds and motorbikes with a variety of passengers and cargo all within about 1 minute of leaving the airport! I don't know how it works but somehow it does!!
Our hotel is one street away from many shops and bars, however this does mean we have to cross a road......head down and go and DON'T stop whatever you do! It's a small but nice hotel especially as it's about 16 pounds a night! Our room is quite big but unfortunately no windows.
We went out for dinner at a Vesper bar where we got to sit on the sidewalk and watch all the bikes go by! We then went shopping!! 1 bag, 2 jeawlery wraps, a bracelet a dragonfly box and some interesting wine (which I can't exactly explain as it's a present for someone and they may read this blog!) all for £13!!!!! Result!!
Off to the Mekong delta on a boat tomorrow, I wonder what excitement is in store for us then!!
