Ola!
Having to try to remember what I've done over the past week or so as I'm a bit behind with the blogs!
Flew to Ho Chi Minh City (aka Saigon) and trailed about the streets till we eventaully met our group of 'fellow travellers'. Quickly went out and ended up dancing the night away in a bar/club called 'Go 2'. Much hillarity and drunkenness ensued with 'swapping t-shirts' (don't ask!) and a few too many of my favourite shots (tequilla slammers - Catherine has video footage to prove it!). So, needless to say we ended up spending the whole of the next day in bed with major league hangovers! Ho hum, not had to do this yet!!!
We (Cath, Rich, Ed, me n g) then caught a flight down to Phu Quoc, a beautiful wee island at the south of Vietnam (which Cambodia keeps trying to steal as it's v. near them!). Rained unbelievably for the first night, then we spent the next 4 days relaxing by the pool and the beach in our star hotel ('keepin it real, eh??!!). Hired bikes one day and toured round the island, discovering more waterfalls we could swin in and glorius deserted beaches. I loved the bikes and in total we travelled around 64 kms. The last stretch of the road was about a 10 mile stretch of ash road, with nothing on it except trees and cattle. So there we were, with the ocean on our left and trees on our right doing about 40 mph (all 5 of us in a row)....one of the most memorable experiences so far!
This e-mail place says I have to pay extra to upload photos so I'm not going to now, but will upload them v. soon....to make you all extremely jealous!!
Make sure you send in some comments!
Much Love to all
