Well this morning has been eventful and basically set the standards of the whole of this horrible day! Up at 7am to catch the sleeper bus at 8am, which rocked up at 10.15am, and whilst on the way to the bus stop in a taxi, the boot came open & our backpacks flew out onto the road!! Not a great start!
Whilst then waiting for the vehicle of death, we headed to a coffee shop across the street where Roz caught a French guy going into an epileptic fit! Luckily she caught him in time so he didn't bang his head and was able to ride the fit out. The vietnamese people were really good and helpful but at the same time crowding round which didn't help. After clearing him some space and letting him relax, he came round and was ok. The day gets worse...
So here I am on the way to Nha Trang sat on a camel sleeper bus that praying that I am going to get off alive! Honestly I can't actually describe how IDIOTIC these drivers are!!!! They swerve in and out of each other, under take, over take, drive head on with lorries on the other side, beep like f**kin maniacs, swap drivers whilst still driving!!! I actually didn't want to put a swear word in my blog but for this time only, it is very appropriate!! I actually want to cry :( If we come out of this alive, there is no way I'm getting on a bus from Ho Chi Minh to Siem Reap for 18 hours... Flashpacker style is coming back out & we are flying!!
Ten hours later on the ant infested death bus, we have safely arrive in Nha Trang... I am gob smacked that we didn't smash into anything or anyone! On the plus side Nha Trang looks lovely!
