Finally arrived yesterday afternoon (my time). Very tiring and long journey with no sleep, but I guess it will be worth it. Had a beer in the hotel and then went walking. For someone terrified of crossing the road, Vietnam is probably one of the worst places to come to! Mopeds are parked on the pavement, no one pays any attention to road crossings (or one way streets) and you have to walk in the road most of the time. But I survived and got back to the hotel. Mind you I didn't want to stay out too long as it was pissing down.
Had a meal in the hotel which was great = chicken and noddles. Had two pints of beer and two bottles of water for about 8 quid. Not bad, but from what I can tell the exchange rate is 24,000 of their coins to a pound. You don't half feel rich walking around here!
Had a good night's sleep and an okay breakfast and am now using the hotel computer to catch up before I meet Lucy and Lee for lunch.
