Saigon

Just a quick note to let everybody know the despite Jetstar's wild incompetance, we made it all the way to Saigon, and so did our bags. Woot.

Now we're trying to figure out how we can fill two and a half months without doing all that much if you know what I mean.

The weather is reassuringly hot and sticky, there was a massive downpour for a few hours this morning but now it is sunny.

Our room is more expensive than we would have liked, but we are too lazy to search for an alternative. So I guess that's the gist of it - lazy days!

Here is photo evidence of Paul in Saigon. For you hardcore followers (anyone?) you will notice this is the same internet cafe from which we first posted in our Vietnam tour of 2006.



Bec & Paul,
Saigon

I know I've seen this doo-hicky somewhere else either Nepal or Melbourne . . . It is hot hot hot and who would have thought? My fingers are sticking to the keys. The rain we heard so much about has come and we might need to buy an umbrella or maybe a garbage bag. Our room is nice and there IS room to swing a cat, so we're happy. Navigtion is a bit wierd, but we're only new so we might catch on. Inter-district travel is our next hurdle. Hot and Sticky, Bec, Saigon

Christmas Eve

So far it's business as usual in Sihanoukville on this hot hot hot Christmas eve. People working on the beach keep updating us on the proximity of Christmas day - without them I think it would have slipped our attention maybe. There's also the odd scrap of tinsel hanging off some trees. In honour of my mother I have decided to force Paul into a Christmas day lunch at Mick and Craig's - an awesome restaurant run by a couple of Australians (we think). For fifteen dolla we receive fresh tomato and basil soup, stuffed baked eggplant with parmasan cheese, roasted potato, pumpkin, beets, sweet potato, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and apple crumble for dessert. If I can't eat it all I will put the leftover's in my shoe or something because I love roast veggies so much. I would also like to take the opportunity to blow the whistle on Paul The Traitor (please refer to him as such from now on) who keeps ordering meaty dishes full of meat. I have sampled said meat to see if it i...
