2nd tour of duty,back into Vietnam.

24/2/09.

Debs looking for the bus that left her behind on the ferry.

We caught a coach from Phon Phen to Saigon,i think it took about 3hrs and was quite cheap and luckily it was almost empty so we could move about. We had to cross a river so the girls decided to get off to go to the loo,they said they wish they hadn't!! Deb couldn't get back to the bus before it left the ferry and had to walk a fair distance where the bus parked safely for her.

washing there new bikes!

Chris catching up on some sleep.

We handed our passports over to the girl on the coach and she did all the process for us.

There were some big casino's on the border,i don't know who they were catering for?

We had to get off the bus at the border with our bags,walk through customs then out the door back on to the bus.

On arriving at Saigon the bus drops you off at the tourist strip where all the hotels and restaurants our and you are immediately descended on by hotel touts promising you that there hotel is better and cheaper,we have wised up to this little scam and found somewhere ourselves,right on a busy Tjunction ,a few floors up so you can watch the busy street life below.

little did we know that the go go bar opposite would keep us up all night with the flashing neon lights and loud music!

This was all fun until this guy got upset that he didn't get any money for a massage Alan didn't want! That night i got the shites from the Indian restaurant we had our dinner from,it lasted a couple of days!!

Saigon is good to visit for a short while ,it is literally wired for sensory overload,but after a while you crave to get back into the countryside

This chick posed with my bike helmet,where her thumb is pointing is where our room was!

Tomorrow we would fly into Kuala Lumpur
