Get up, get breakfast & nip out to the largest indoor market in Saigon while waiting for G to clean the apartment! Fail to buy travel watch as I don't want a bloody great big Rolex.
Sit on park and are approached by three students who are given the task of accosting innocent tourists to improve their English skills. They are pleased we're actually English because we ask questions and generally engage in conversation unlike the Americans who just talk...apparantly..seems totally out of character to me. 'My' students are telecoms & accounting and it's a really interesting 20 mins...then G texts and it's time to get a taxi...
Taxi gets lost then, suddenly, we see George...so so strange to see her standing there in her crazy adopted home city but so so great to see her after six months. It's kind of wierd to be sitting with her and Tom in their apartment..the wierdness is that it feels totally normal to be doing this. G feels this too. Tom & G are fine.
G takes us to a chilled cafe where we eat & G adds cabin baggage to our flight booking. A load of G's friends turn up and say Hi. G takes us to a travel shop she has used and we book a weekend trip for just us to the Mekong Delta while G is working..we will see the floating markets as well as villiages....then it's 'bye to G & T and back to the hotel.
Eat some fried rice at the roadside as a snack before going back. Off to Hoi An in the morning..up at 3:15!!!!
