Saigon

After getting into our really excellent hostel it was time for a relaxing day. I think the shock of this made Mhairi feel unwell ;) (joking joking) but unfortunately she was feeling pretty unwell for the day, but seems to be back in form now anyway. So while she took it really easy and had a good sleep, I headed out with a guy – Chris – for lunch..

Australian – fun guy – used to work in the coogee bay hotel (Apprently a big pub in Sydney) even organising comedy nights etc… Anyway, here we’re having lunch from a roadside eatery. Well, drinkery really. They have this stuff called Bia Hoi (new beer I think it means) and it’s made fresh each day and delivered all around vietnam. And it’s good to drink. And it costs 4000Dong for 2 Litres. That’s roughly 25Cents for 2 Litres. Of Beer. For 25 Cents. 8 Litres for a Euro.

Dangerous place Vietnam, very dangerous.

All in all though it was a pleasant day – catching up on mails, getting washing done (first time we’d stayed put in over a week.. and I only have 2 sets of clothes really ;) ) Mhairi was feeling herself again by the evening.. so we made ready to go on a tour to the Cu Chi tunnles (Viet Cong) tomorrow.
