Ho Chi Minh

We got a day bus from Nha Trang to Ho Chi Minh (otherwise known as Saigon), unfortunately we only had one night there but we got up early the next day and went to the War Remnants Museum in the morning. Apparently the Chi Chi tunnels used in the war are well worth a visit too but we just didn't have time. The museum had some horrific photos in it but it really brings home how bad the war was and was definately worth going to. On our taxi ride home the meter was obviously faulty as it kept jumping up in random amounts, so our taxi ride was already more expensive than it should have been but we couldn't be bothered to argue. I handed him a 200 note (worth about 6 pound 50), needing 100 change and he claimed I only gave him a 20, the cheek of it! Anyway we argued for some time but he wasn't having any of it so Michelle grabbed the 20 note out of his hand and we got out of the taxi. I've been waiting for something like that to happen the whole trip! Arrrgh annoying but I couldn't help but think atleast it's something to write about in my blog....! Then we got our flight back to Bangkok. We're staying in a really nice hotel, it was 12 pound 50 a night so even though it's not alot its about 3 X what we've paid everywhere else, so it seems pretty luxury to us. One last day in Bangkok today and then home time tomorrow!
