The bus came and picked us up just gone
8am and should have arrived at midday… 2 hours after ETA we were in our final
destination in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City or as it used to be called Saigon.
We checked into our hostel where we
were staying in pods or more massive incubators, Chrissy just said it felt like
a morgue, it was a weird but cool experience. We were going to go and check out
the museum but it shut quite early so we decided to head to the Botanical
gardens and Zoo, it cost us 8,000 dong to get in, so about 30p! Bargain, there
were lots of cages with not a lot of animals but we did get to see some
giraffe, elephants, goats, you know the usual zoo/farm animals. It was a good
way to spend the afternoon and by that point it was a cooler point of the day
so it wasn’t that bad walking around.
For dinner we decided to go for the old
favourite of Frozen Yoghurt which was only a 5 minute or less walk from where
we were staying. After that we popped over to the night market to grab a few
things where I found out my haggling streak still exists! Win!
