Well, after a relaxing night at a beach resort in Nha trang - we headed south once again for the big smoke - Ho Chi Minh City - Or Saigon to the old timers! First notable difference whilst on the coach on the way in was a Pizza Hut - the first sign that the western world had made an impact!
We drove through a lot of busy busy traffic, scooters, vans, cars - it has the lot (unlike Hanoi which was predominantly scooters) - arriving at our hotel. It wasn't long before dinner, which once again was rice and fish....euugh! I'm sick of it!
We then headed out for some drinks and ended up in what can only be described as a club with the same amount of effort as one in Ibiza - it was 'Banging!' - they like their music hard, and they like it loud! We were greeted on the door by handshakes and smiles, and showed to our table - all drinks are served by waiters / table service - with a kind of central bank in the place, holding all the bills.
Lots of drinking, Dancing, making a complete arse of ourselves and the night came to an end!
The next morning was spent doing a little sightseeing and shopping - lovely city, very hot, very busy - and lots of shops for everyone's taste! I would defo. like to spend a little more time here - unfortunately had to get our 14hr flight(s) home!
here's to the next trip - suggestions on a postcard please!!! :)
