Arrived in ho chi min city late this afternoon, too late to go sightseeing.. So i plonked myself in a bar for noodles and a beer, sat outside people watching for a while, fantastic!.. And ending my day with a foot massage and manicure.. Really liking it here

Just arrived back from my wonderful trip to halong bay. Arrived sunday, lovlely cabin, had a nice meal for lunch,visited the cave, kayaking around the bay and finally a nice swim at a small cove. Back to the boat for dinner, few drinks and went to bed a very happy girl. Then at 1.30ish am...BED BUGS!!!!!!i was horrified! Got in the shower , had a good scrub and hairwash and spent the nite on the top deck..not a happy bunny. Monday was actually my best day of all ...

Well, i had to have a go in one of these..a bicycle rickshaw with a seat on the front.. Just been wandering the streets, in a bar for a cool down, walk around hoan kiem lake, in a bar for a cool down, far too hot today.. Off to halong bay for three days in the morning on a junk boat..fandabbi
