Ho Chi Minh City-Vietnam

:-)

We finally made Vietnam! After lines for visas, currency exchanges, SIM cards and finding transport to our accommodation we arrived fairly late lastnight, ate dinner and went to bed.

We had a busy day exploring the city today, on foot. Ho Chi Minh is a bustling city, and I love it. The city is actually clean and modern! There are many gorgeous coffee shops and with nice prices! The Vietnamese drink coffee cold with ice. They also sit on mini little chairs and tables to eat their meals. We have fallen in love already with the fresh Vietnamese food.



We visited the Notre Dame Cathedral today, along with the Saigon Central Post  Office and the Ben Thanh Market. The Post Office is a tourist attraction due to it being one of the oldest buildings in Ho Chi Minh City. A remnant of the French colonial times, when Vietnam was part of French Indochina. It was built between 1886-1891.


Our next job is to find a good quality, backpackers price, tour of the Mekong Delta river! :-)

All is good here, missing all of you <3

Chiang Mai

We absolutely love Chiang Mai! What a relief after crazy Bangkok. The people here are so friendly and laid back. Apart from having to sleep on a bed as hard as a rock, and thank goodness for travel mosquito nets, everything is going well! :-) Off to explore! Grace xxx

Hello all :-) Just a post to let you know we may be out of reception the next few days. We are heading to an island called Koh Ta Kiev . We are pretty sure they don't have reception or Internet. We think we will be staying at accommodation called Crusoe Island.So, if contact is needed urgently, look them up (crusoeisland.asia) and they have a couple of numbers and email available. Love to you all xxx  The picture below is one of the lady's that walk around the beach with fruit on their heads. They cut it up and put it in a little bag with a skewer for you :-) mmmmmm
