We were instructed that the only way to get from HCMC to the national park was to catch a bus and then jump off in a village and get a moto taxi into the park. This went swimmingly (pun intended) until we arrived at the village drop off, got fleeced by some moto taxi drivers and the heavens opened.

Deep in the jungles of South Central Vietnam, without food or water and unbeknownst to us we were cast together with two violently dangerous Swiss.
