Mui Ne, Baby!

Our last day in Saigon was Tuesday. Spent the day seeing the rellies and doing last rounds at our favourite eating spots, before leaving the bustling city. Tuesday arvo, was when flu symptoms struck me and I started to feel very sick. Wednesday morning, I didn't feel any better - but it was only a 4 hour ride to Mui Ne, so I decided to commit. Checked into our VIP Bungalow! Here's Jeremy on the balcony.

Here's the view of the balcony (taken from the bed, where I have spent most of my time over the last two days)


And here's a shot of the beach, taken from out front of our place. So, we're spitting distance from the beach, but its intensely polluted. We will have to wait till the next beach town, before actually venturing into the water.

Meanwhile, my flu got worse and worse. Before I left Australia, I saw a Dr who recommended that I bring some Tammiflu along, just in case I get hit with H1N1 aka Swine Flu. The main symptom is a fever coupled with body temperature above 38 degrees. I had both, along with a string of other symptoms. So Jeremy got me to start taking the meds. I spent the first whole day in bed, only venturing out for dinner. We ordered a seafood feast (specialty of this area) and I literally ate one scallop, one prawn and a small piece of fish. My appetite was gone and I knew that meant I was sick!
