Day 15 - Last day in HCMC

After a sleep in for most, the day was spent running around the markets and catching up on last minute shopping. On our way to the market we came across a wedding, with 80 couples getting married (see photos). We are expecting to see Ali on the Vietnam National news this afternoon as the television cameras filmed  her watching wedding party.

We held a room at the hotel to give us somewhere to relax for the afternoon, in between swims and coffee. Some spent the afternoon at Lucky Beauty Salon having massages and nail treatments.


From me, your blogster.... I have had a great time leading this team on the build and then spending our R&R days exploring Siem Reap and Vietnam. I hope that everyone else has enjoyed it as mush as I have. I would like to thank all of the team, they were a great bunch, I hope that some will go on to lead thier own teams in the future, and that  others will embark on another volunteer adventure in the future.

Ali - It was great fun and interesting to see another country. My highlight was seeing the ancient temples of Ankor Wat and also getting to experience the culture of Cambodia. I would love to come back when I am 16 and see more of this country.

Sophie - The holiday was really amazing and so much fun, the highlight was experiencing the different cultures, the markets and the friendly people.

Chrissy - Incredible experience that I will never forget, it was an honour to travel to another country and to help the people who arent as fortunate as us. My highlight was the Tuk Tuk, markets in Cambodia and elephant rides.
