For the last time... Good Morning Vietnam!!! Travel days are not something I look forward to but today was a slight exception as it involved an aeroplane! Although against our rules of using a plane for inner Asia transport we had no choice; In 1 hour we would be in Bangkok with a free 30 day visa. We left the hotel at 7am in Saigon for breakfast and onto the airport for 8am. We checked in with little style. We were the people I hate; bags open at the chec...

The waves were a lot bigger than yesterday and people (inc. us) flocked to the water to be thrown around by them. Time flew by doing nothing (it's ...

Today is glorious. The sun is shining and there is a light breeze. Our stomachs have recovered and food was needed asap to regain a sense of normality. We walked along the beach to get our bearings and find breakfast. A smart hotel was offering $5 buffet breakfast; perfect! Unlimited amounts of fruit, salad, cakes, noodles, curry, soup, juices, as well as your normal breakfast items. After breakfast we headed back up the beach to our hotel for a dip in our poo...
