We awoke to a beautiful day in Ho Chi Minh City, the usual haze gave way to beautiful sunshine, the perfect morning for a 6.00am swim and a walking tour of Ho Chi Minh City. The tour took in the back alleys, street markets and look at the antiques district, two of our highlights were everyone managing to cross the roads without being hit by a vehicle of any description, and coffee at a local sidewalk cafe. The walking tour gave us a valuable insight into the day to day lives of the vietnamese people living in this city. Another highlight was Honey having her camera returned after dropping it in a very busy laquer factory showroom a phone call from our Guide, Tam had another man hand deliver the camera on his motorbike. We returned to the hotel to catch our bus out to the Airport to fly into Siem Reap. Our flight was temporarily delayed whilst a small thunderstorm passed through, eventually we were in the air, on or way to our Siem Reap Paradise.
Flying into Siem Reap, we could see the result of the devastating floods which took the lives of over 300 people in the past few weeks. It was dark when we arrived, so we were yet to see what this bustling little city has to offer. Today is a rest day, we will head out after breakfast to explore the city, we will report back tonight on our adventures for the day.
