Today we caught the eary bus to Mui Ne, on the way to the ticket office we stopped off In our bakery for some breakfast and a sneaky sandwich for lunch! We have now traveled in our fourth variety of sleeping bus, this type was single seats that recline back and you have 3 sets across the width of the bus. They were actually quite comfy, however if your any taller than me you wouldn't fit - they were a perfect size for Hana to just fit! The bus journey was same ...

Today is our last day in Ho Chi Minh so we had a snooze in the morning, until we decided to drag ourselves to our bakery down the street (the tvs here has program's we can actually understand!). After we grabbed some food we took a walk through the park and out to the indoor market - this was fairly similar to most of the others we have seen but its always fun to go walking through the tiny alleys of cheap tee shirts and handbags! Once we were all marketed out w...

Definitely something that takes some getting used to - on our walk we made our way to the war remnants museum. As it didn't open until 1:30 we took a walk ...

Although today started in bangkok, we arrived at our hotel in Ho Chi Minh City at 9.30am - not being able to check in until 12am we grabbed a drink at the nearest watering hole. We were hugely suprised when Pat and Jen waked around the corner, not a second after we sat down! A city with the population of 9 million (fun fact: there's 7 million motorbikes in the city as well!) and we run into 2 people we last saw 5 days ago in another country! We had a quick cha...
