Ho Chi Minh City - Saturday 14 October 2017

Today we are going to Vung Tau, a beachside town about 90 minutes by fast ferry.

Had breakfast in hotel and then went out for a coffee. Vietnamese coffee is great - very strong and sweet.



Then back to hotel to get a taxi to the river and then boat up the river. It was a longer trip than the advertised 90 minutes. I was disappointed in the town. Although it was Saturday, there were hardly any people around and most restaurants were closed.







Had lunch and walked along the sea. Beach was not particularly nice, but I had a swim.



A bit random...








Stayed a few hours and caught ferry back to Saigon. Got a Grab back to our hotel which was easy. I didn't want to have to explain to a taxi where we were going.

Then went to an outdoor BBQ restaurant which was great. cook your own food. Everything very cheap here. We were joined by Callum's friend Isaac who recently moved here from HK.

Walked back to hotel and later Jacqui and I went to Chill Rooftop Bar which I wanted to try. But we weren't dressed well enough to get in. So we walked down Bui Vien Street which is crazy and found a rooftop bar and had a drink.




Back to hotel about 1am.
