Day 1 is done and dusted! we’re in our hotel room about to hit the hey after a very long day of travel.
Here’s what we got up to:
* flight from Adelaide to KL was very easy. Had seats with great legroom and everything was just nice and easy
* we had a break in KL where the airport stretches over a number of terminals connected by an unmanned train (2 actually). Very impressive airport! You’d think 1 dedicated cigar shop would be enough… no siree bob! 2 is the magic number
* we then had a 2hr flight to Saigon on a half full flight. We bumped into Laura & Ben at the airport which was handy and also saw Peter Harvey, Canberra, with his crew. Anzac Day special perhaps for 60 Minutes?
* we then had the taxi ride of a lifetime through the streets of HCMC. We’ve never seen anything like it. just incredible. the scooters are just an angry swarm of bees going wherever they want at any time, fearless and impatient. The funny thing works though, it just works. It’s organized chaos and everyone understands the game
* we’ve already checked out the nearby night markets, tried one of the local brews and just soaked up the atmosphere… and intense heat
So, we’re beat. Time for a good rest. Great start to the holiday!
