Mui Ne... then back to Saigon!!

Spent 2 nights in Mui Ne.. not really much to do other than kite surf (if you're into that sort of thing.. was way too expensive for us to give it a go at this stage in our trip).. although there are some really cool sand dunes nearby.. the place looks like a mini Sahara desert! Photos to come soon.

Today we've completed our grand circuit and have made it back to Saigon! Would have loved to have had twice the time to do it, but we've done pretty well with the time we've had, I think! Tomorrow morning we fly over to Bangkok, and then the following day down to Phuket where we commence the final stage of our trip: lying on a beautiful beach and doing as close to nothing as possible. Have started to try and come to terms with the fact that we'll be home soon.. but trying not to think about it toooo much as it makes us sad... except for the fact that going back to Australia means seeing friends and relatives, of course ;)

Ho Chi Minh City!

FINALLY up to date with my blogging thanks to free internet at our hotel! Steve has had a bit of a bug so I've been blogging away while he sleeps it off.

We are currently in Ho Chi Minh City and absolutely loving it. The people are so friendly, everything is so so cheap. Last night we found a Mexican place (that also did Italian, Vietnamese, +anything else really) and I got the Spag Bol I'd been craving!! Steve had BBQ pork ribs, and we shared 3 cocktails.. all for a grand total of $16AUD.

The traffic is even crazier than KL. Thousands upon thousands of motorbikes, and everyone uses a horn as a substitute for an indicator! We both went to the Blind Institute and had hour long massages for about $3AUD yesterday, which were OK..

Meeting up with the brother of our friend, Ka, this afternoon and he'll show us around the city a bit. Tomorrow we'll take a bus across the border into Cambodia! (Of course, we'll be back in Vietnam later for a proper exploration).
