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

It's been a while

Well it's that time of time again! Paul and I are in the final stages of insecticiding our clothes and stuffing our packs and trying to break into our own combination locks. The plan is this: Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam. 75 days. 3 border crossings. Some beach, some rivers, some lakes, some sub-zero mountain towns (Can't think why) and some runs diaries volume 2. This time round we're armed with a spanking new Nikon D90, bringing you the latest in photomatica and filmographity. Let's not forget two iPods totalling 160gB, two laptops (tiny ones) with another 40gb between them, and three, count them, three 16gB SD cards. Who said we'd be on holiday!? So stay tuned and live vicariously through us as we tread the path untrod. Well it's probably well trod, but nowhere else will you find such regular and informative blog entries. Peace-out!

Theory

So Bec, I have been thinking...following various circumstances involving food poisoning i have come up with the following theory! I have realised that the only times i (and many fellow travellers) have been sick has been when i have eaten at restaurants...we have the veggie spring roll ordeal in Sapa last year and Kaz and i had the killer seafood in Koh Chang, Thailand. This trip i have been mainly eating at food stalls in markets and roadside and never been sick (not including the koh chang prawns of death). my theory goes as follows: The restaurant is more likely to carry bacteria and have cross comination due to the fact that it isn't packed up, cleaned and moved everyday like food stalls. Also you can't see how they cook the food or how the food is stored! The food at stalls is fresh everyday because there aint no fridges! So far my theory has proved me right, though i won't hold my breath! ;)
