We woke up early and said goodbye to hotel kim to walk for the last time up the strip full of drug dealers on motorbikes, booze and food; but the baddies only really come out at night. We stopped off at a small stall selling mini pastries and we bought four small coconut pastry things for our journey. We sat outside the tourist info place where we are getting picked up in the hope that we will be on another sleeper bus. And we were. We had to sit one in front o...

We decide to have a relaxing day today not doing anything in particular except catching up on our journals. We got a bit peckish around lunch time so headed round the corner to Burger King. We both ordered a bacon and cheese beef burger with fries and a drink, i had iced tea. The burgers were lovely and tasted a lot better than the beef in the UK, i guess it's because the beef used in the burgers in south east asia is mainly imported from Australia. The burgers w...

We have to meet at the tourist information shop at 08:00am today for our tour around the Chu Chi tunnels so we were awake pretty early.

As soon as we walked in we were bombarded with people trying to sell us things, it's an indoor market with lo...

I woke up really late today after a long night and it was around 11:30 when i managed to drag myself out of bed, only to the bathroom though and then chilled a little longer on the bed. At around 13:00 we decided to go out and get something to eat and we ended up in a small pizzeria with the biggest menu i think i've seen in my life. I didn't fancy pizza at all so just went for a tuna sandwich and fries. I got an iced coffee to drink which tasted nice and sweet...
