Today I woke randomly with abdomen pain, similar to the episode in Hanoi and felt pretty sore. Steven had headed out to breakfast so I got up, took some painkillers and got dressed. It wasn't long before Steven was back and we got ready to head out as we were planning to visit the 'war remnants museum'. We didn't have a lot of time in Saigon but it was somewhere we both wanted to visit. By now my stomach pains were pretty bad but intermittent so bearable, one...

We arrived in Saigon at around six am and were dropped off outside the Sinh Tourist office. Here we left our bags and wandered off looking for a place to stay.

I headed to a place We had spotted yesterday evening which specialised in meat and rice dishes. After a five minute walk I arrived and asked for chicken and rice from which the nice lady told me to take a seat. Shortly after she brought me over a big plate of r...
