Good Morning Vietnam . . .

 Well this is where i woke up . . Vietnam!!!

First impressions are WOW . . literally not what i was expecting at all. The contrasts between Cambodia and Vietnam are slightly crazy. Vietnam is soo vast compared to any pictures i had in my head, and this has made me kind of excited to explore.

Indoor market

First stop Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), we stayed with our new friends we met on the bus at a really nice place called Spring House Hotel, right in the middle of Backpacker central. On our first day we bumped into the 3 guys from Texas and went to lunch and then to the local market. The boys had just purchased 3 motor bikes and were planning to ride up Vietnam for the next month (sooo jealous, but my mother would kill me i think!!)

In the evening we went with Jenna and found a really cool roof top bar high above the city and just watched the world go by. Saigon is soo much cleaner compared to Phnom Pehn the Capital of Cambodia.

Groupies

Next morning we braved the local buses with help of some very polite and patient Vietnamesse people (who ever it was that told us they were rude were soo wrong, the people here have been nothing but nice and friendly and much less persistent) We managed to make our way to Saigon airport where my cousin Raf arrived to join us for the rest of our adventure in Asia!! =D

Once we got him back and settled we met the rest of our little gang and went off exploring more of the city. It really is a great city!!!

Braving the roads

In the evening we got yet another sleeper bus and headed to the central coast of Vietnam, a place called Nha Trang, with Jenna in tow too!

And that is where i am now people so you are all up to date!! (am trying to upload pics but Vietnam have banned Facebook!!) haha!!!
