31st May

Today flew to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) Only stopping here for one night and stayed in a lovely intimate, colonial style hotel 'Empress'. I loved it here and had the most amazing night.

The roads in Saigon are crazy crazy crazy!!!!If I'd thought the roads were bad in Hanoi I was certainly in for a shock arriving here (triple mayhem compared to Hanoi that's for sure!) A great city though and wish that I'd stayed more than one day as I've heard the shopping malls here are great! Saved a lot of money by not going to them though I'm sure!
