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

$1 Camper!

Hi all! Yesterday we picked up our $1 a day relocation camper from Las Vegas..we have four days in this lovely beast and we are driving it to Denver Colorado. There's a lot more room than our dodge caravan that's for sure! It's got a full sized shower, toilet, kitchen with fridge,oven , microwave. It even extends out once parked to make more room! We fly out of Denver on the 13th to Washington DC for a few days or so. We'll then head to New York. :-) Everything is swell!  Woohoo! Super excited! Breakfast this morning made by the fabulous Grace
