Yesterday we had an awesome day for my birthday! We started with breakfast at McDonald's before grabbing a taxi to get us to Den Sam waterpark. This was incredible! It was a weekend so we knew it would probably be busy but it was ridiculous how many people were there! We were some of the only westerners there as well which meant we got quite a bit of attention! We went on pretty much all of the slides, which were so fast and left us aching today! There was also ...

We had our trip to the Mekong Delta today. We were told to be at reception for 7.45, so arrived a bit early just in case. However, we didn't end up getting picked up until 8.15, and were the only ones in the minibus to the station. Here we got on an already full bigger bus, which made us think we may have been forgotten about to start with! We left Ho Chi Minh at about 8.45 and after one rest stop we came to where our tour would start at about 11am. We started ...

Last night we met up with the people we had met in Mui Ne and had some food and drinks at the street food market in town. After this we decided to try and find the backpacker area with all the bars. Walking down the street heading towards it we crossed paths with another group of tourists. They got about 15m behind us when I heard a noise and a scream, I turned around in time to see a motorbike drive off the path in front of them, quickly realising. He had driven...

Today was our trip to the Cu Chi tunnels, just outside of Ho Chi Minh. We were picked up at 8am and got on a minibus to pick up some others. Shane's tattoo caught the attention of our guide for the day and resulted with him being offered a months stay in the tunnels in exchange for having a photo taken while we were there with no clothes on! This made a strange start for the day! We switched to a bigger coach and headed towards Cu Chi, with a quick rest stop at ...

Today we made our final journey in Vietnam to Ho Chi Minh. Our bus arrived just after 8 and turned out to be a sleeper bus, which after a bit of confusion as to where we could sit, made it quite a comfortable journey! We had arrived and checked in by 1pm and went out for a bit of an explore. We found the main market and I finally bought a new pair of sunglasses! We also found an opticians and completed our mission to get some prescription glasses for my mum and ...
