Southern Vietnam


The roads in Ho Chi Minh lived upto all the stories we've heard. Chatting to some students who wanted to practice their English with us. We mentioned the busy roads and one said quote "dont't try to avoid them, just walk and let themavoid you, what will be will be". So as you can imagine that put our minds at ease. From Ho Chi Minh we took a day trip to the Mekong Delta where we tasted freshly made coconut candy, had a ride down the narrow canals in a traditional canoe and met some lively Filipinos along the way. Had a fun day heading out in a jeep to the great sanddunes at Muine, what a rush hurtling down the them on sandboards, less fun walking back upcovered in sand. Using coaches and sleeper buses to travel up the coast we stopped at Dalat and Nha Trang where i spent my birthday on the beach with pinocoladas.
