Vietnam Adventure: Ho Chi Minh City

Saturday, 16 March 2013 at 10:09 Ho Chi Minh City...

Well here we are in Saigon after a good flight with a dodgy landing. Had time for a walk along the seafront and a drink at a cafe before we left the developing super-resort of Nha Trang.

Interesting chat with an Auzzie on the plane...had met up with her parents who live in Germany & was off back to work on Monday.

Definitely an odd feeling coming in to land, knowing George is living somewhere down there in this bustling communist town with a western vibe. Didn't expect the high rise super-modern office blocks in the centre. Motorbikes and scooters everywhere but far more cars than Hanoi. Forced to pointlessly march through a retail market at high speed before we booked in at the hotel, which is fine, but no free WiFi in the rooms so rely on SIM for updates on F1....GP tomorrow.

Evening boat cruise up the Saigon river with a great meal, including live traditional music and dance before crashing out in the hotel.

Talk to G and arrange to meet Monday middayish.
Qualifying postponed to tomorrow because of Australian rainstorm....
