Good Morning Vietnam
Well, I don't have much to report. We are alive and well in Vietnam. The trip here wasnt too painful. The usual walking and queues involved with an overland border crossing but nothing too strenuous. We changed buses at the border and caught a boat over the Mekhong in Cambodia but all in all quite a stress free trip.
So far Vietnam is great. We have a room right in the heart of backpackerville so there is lots to do and see. We have some plans for tours over the next couple of days. A Mekhong Delta day trip and a tour of the city.. possibly the Chi Chi tunnels and a visit to one of the local water parks for a day of slipping and sliding. Today though we are just getting used to a new country.
So far the kid/begger situation is looking good. Much better than Cambodia anyway. We have had a couple of offers for kids to shine our shoes but since we are wearing sandals we get out of that one pretty easily!
Merry Almost Christmas to Luke's family who are celebrating Christmas today instead of the 25th!!!
Will update again soon!
PS: there are more cambodia pictures online!
