Next on the trail was Kanchanaburi for which we knew we only had one day to do all our sight seeing as we had a flight to make from Singapore (which we have already put back) and lots still to do after. Arriving at Kanchanaburi the bus driver tells us to get on another bus - feeling there is something wrong we decide to find out where the bus is going after 10mins of speaking to the driver (who doesn't speak english) and talking to some guy on a phone we fin...

It was time for Bangkok but first we had to cross the border this took a little while as the passport control desks to number of passports was very low. When we got in it was a relieve to see a nice air con bus (that we had to wait 2 hours to depart in as they were waiting for more people).

Don't think i'll be moving there. A minority village followed after passing the bridge of death - we somehow passed it in one piece. All the villagers ...

We reached Saigon and i could tell from the bus drive through the city i was going to like it. We arrived there in the afternoon and after a couple of hours tring to find a half decent room at a half decent price (and Stefie upsetting the locals with her abrupt attitude to their persistent selling techniques) we found somewhere which turned out to be housing the English girls from Nha Trang that Ben knew. The afternoon was spent chilling out before heading r...
