Hi guys!

So arrived in Singapore after 13 hours of servere turbulance, which Miss Davies managed to sleep through!!! Little shit! So to piss her off, once i'd seen the food menu I decided to wake her up. Prawn starter followed by beef! She was not happy!


Finally got a chance to sit on down on the internet, so thought we would let you all know how we are doing. Got to Ho Chim airport, to be harrased by a taxi man. After agreeing to pay $10 more than the guide book said, the taxi man saw us coming!!!

The tour started on Wednesday and they have had us up soooo early every day. We left Ho Chim City late mid Thursday afternoon. Mine and Anges first experiance of the city where odd taxi drivers that cornerned you and not being able to cross the streeet. we spentour extra day before tour started just catching up on sleep as we both didnt know how to cross the road so cound only walk up and down the street we were on. The hotels have been good and since meeting the tour we have learnt to cross the roads. Crossing the road here would be like crossing in road in London when it was on speed!!! After realising pedrestian crossings and red lights meant nothing we never left the hotel.

The tour guide said you just have to walk and they will drive round you!!! I still fear for my life on every cross!

Top gear didnt do Ho Chim justice, there were sooooooo many more motorbikes the place was crazy! Really hot and really cool though. We went to a war museum and it was quite shocking. Went to see parts of the city, markets and all that jazz. Finally headed out for our first meal on the tour, bbq themed cook your own food! This prospect thrilled ange however when everyone else had recieved their food ange was still left waiting and flustered. Half an hour later, bill came no sign on anges food! She asked where it was to be informed 'No'

Morning of day 2 ange feasted on bacon!
