Hi All We made it through or first day in Vietnam ! Flew over on Jetstar, uneventful flight. Landed into hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City. Very hot and sticky. Stayed at the Crystal Hotel last night. First lesson - Road rules are for interpretation only. Whoever has the biggest vehicle has right of way. The horn is the most important part of the car/bus/motorbike. We have all learnt to cross the road, some better than others.

Will post some photos soon. Andrew, Elise, Gemma & Lucy
