Back to Saigon!

Left around 7am for another long bus ride over to Vietnam. Our destination was Saigon aka Ho Chi Minh City - which is the city my parents are from, and where a lot of my Mum's family still resides. While waiting to cross the Cambodia border, I took this pic - the ol' horse and carriage, still in use here.

Our bus stopped for a 15 minute meal break, during the 6 hour journey. These stops are always at the most ghetto/sketchy eateries you could ever imagine. Jeremy and I decided it was best to just have a quick drink and wait till we got to Saigon, to get some solids into us.


At around 1pm, we had made it to Saigon. And after a quick rest and shower, we hit up a Pho spot on the same street as our hotel. Pho is a traditional beef noodle soup - I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.. and probably will for the next couple of days. Yum!

Its good to be back in Saigon.. the streets are busy and chaotic - but I love it :)
