The alarm went off at 5.45am. This had to be against the law in some countries; we had to figure out which ones and move there. We got ready while still half asleep and checked out of the hotel. We stumbled across the road to the baguette lady and ordered 3 with Laughing Cow cheese and 2 waters.We sat on the steps of the hotel and hten Edd saw people putting their bags on the back of the bus. He got up to put our bags on and was told to stand aside and wait one m...

It was another early start. We had to be at the tourist information centre at 7am, luckily it was 2 shops down from our hotel, so it wasn't like it was far. It was just really early. Again.We left for the Cu Chi tunnels at 7.45am (after purchasing baguettes and water from a vendor across the road). It was a 2 hour journey to the tunnels: not because it was far, but because the traffic in Ho Chi Minh City was a bit mad.We arrived there after 10am and walked around...

We got up at 4.30am. Yes, that's right, 4.30 in the morning. We showered, packed the last few bits and checked out. Our guest house had made us 2 baguettes with Laughing Cow cheese on it and the taxi driver was waiting for us outside: we had a 14 seater booked for just the 2 of us. We could have joined the Swiss girl and her boyfirned, but check in time closed 30 minuutes before departure and we weren't going to get there in time.The journey took 35minutes and we...

We decided to fly to Ho Chi Minh City and took an hour, as opposed to a 10 hour train journey. It also cost less, go figure. Edd sat on the guest house computer and booked flights while I parcelled up our bits and pieces into a box; the post office had arrived with all the necessaries. The declaration form was filled out, signed, everything paid for and we watched 12.5kg's of stuff exit under the arm of the post office representative. I had 1 x very happy Edd.We ...

We were supposed to go to the tailor at 9.30am, but ended up only getting up at that time. Oops. We made our way to the tailor for our final fitting after 10am and were excited to see the final products. Edd's wasn't happy with the buttons on his blue suit and left with one of the assistants in search of button stores. I tried my dress on and they hadn't altered the neck line enough, so it had to get sent back one last time for a fix. Edd came back half an hour l...
