Our last days in Saigon
So here we are, leaving for Bangkok tomorrow and almost a third of the way through the trip already. We have spent the last 3 nights in a backpackers for $7US a night each which is pretty cheep although the view from my window isnt to spectacular compared to the Miss Universe swimming pool:
I have managed to brave getting on a scooter a few times now - it is so much fun! The other night Nath and I caught a “tok tok” across to another bar - the guy pushing us got a flat tyre half way there and just kept going, what a machine!
I took a photo of us standing outside our backpackers:
We took a tour out to Cu Chi tunnels however halfway on the 2 hour bustrip my stomach turned with unplesent results. I ended up catching a local bus back to the city - as I got on the locals stared at me, I don’t think that it is to common that white guys get on the local bus that far out of the city but I managed to make it home safe and sound 
I was really guttered because the others who went on got to shoot big guns but apparently they werent that cool and all locked in place - at least that’s what I am telling myself!
There a a couple more photos that I uploaded to flickr which you can see in the sidebar.
Will post again soon
