HO CHI MINH CITY

Well, we arrived in a hot sticky Ho Chi Minh City. A couple of hours after arriving the heavens opened for the first rain of the rainy season. For us westerners it was a welcome relief from the heat. It was quite an experience dragging our baggage up and down the alleys looking for decent accommodation and a good price. It took us a while to discover what the going rate is, this we did with a bit of help from other backpackers. We are in Dhe Tham Road which is filled with backpackers. It is a cooking pot of cultures but so far as westerners go the Aussies win handsdown. This is an incredible city and we fell in love with it. The vietnamese are so friendly.

This is Jeannie. Born in India and based in Australia she has spent her entire life as a nomad, travelling from place to place. We spent quite a bit of time getting to know her on the plane.
