Vietnam | Kel in Saigon | 20-28 March 2005
From Hoi An I caught a ‘wonderful’ 26 hour bus all the way to Saigon – I took some sleeping pills, but they didn’t work! I didn’t break the trip in Nha Trang because I needed to get to Kelly, arriving in Saigon, and I thought we might do Nha Trang together.
I finally arrived – pretty tired and cranky – to a pretty perky Kels. We booked into Miss Loi’s Guesthouse, now a favoured Saigon spot.
During the time Kel was with me in Saigon we saw some of the tourist sights, such as the Reunification Palace (which I hadn’t seen before) – which was quite large and took at least 1-2 hours just for the tour. We also did the Post Office, the Cathedral, the Benh Thanh Markets and some other local ‘necessary’ visits. Kel was pretty tired from running around Thailand, Cambodia and the Philippines so we didn’t push for going to many other cities or even running around too much in Saigon.
In the middle of the week that Kel was in Vietnam, we went to Dalat for a couple of nights – see the next log.
It was really cool having Kel there, being able to show her around some of SE Asia, which had been my life for the previous year. Its definitely not typical that I’ve been somewhere that she hasn’t!
