Saigon

Well our last day in Hoi An was just the perfect amount of time to get all our clothes back, fitted perfectly and off to our next destination Saigon, but not before I had to be extremely firm with some cheeky Vietnamese woman for my money in exchange for shoes of Celias that she never finished in time. What drama and I hate getting that upset.

Saigon was a another huge misunderstanding as we managed to get in another cab scam from the airport which was not a great start to our trip. We ended up in this seedy backpackers street at this guesthouse which was sex tourist capital. You can't get away from it in SE Asia and it's really tough for me because I like to point to Celias constant embaressment.

This truly is the city of Mopeds and i have many great pics showing hoe absolutely packed the streets are.

We went to the War museum which is like heaven to me, all these planes and tanks and helicopeters from 'Nam' and its not 'Namibia' this time. Boys will be boys. Celia on the other hand read all the stories in the museum and came back saying its so awful, i was just thinking... this is awesome, what the hell is she talking aboud.

That evening we went to this great Vietnamese BBQ / open air restaurant where we had the pleasure of great steaks (cooked on a coal fire on our table), superb mussels and crunchy scorpions. Not a bad taste, body is a bit tastless, but the big old claws are a bit like eating crab and quite meaty.

Options on this menu included Beef and Goat penis, snake and various other random dishes that i would not put my lips near.

We obviously ended off the evening with an ice cream as has become standard on this trip and got an early night as we were leaving for Cambodia via the Mekong Delta early in the morning.
