So Long Vietnam, last stop Saigon (AKA Ho Chi Minh City)

Upon arrival in Saigon we had some difficulty in finding a place, this was due to the fact that most guesthouses are not open at 6.00am-weird that. A nice (but strange) lady helped us find a room above a bar, no guesthouse for us, but a spare room over a pub. We were guaranteed that the noise would not be a problem, in fact we were told "no sleep, you get money back", this relaxed us a lot. So much so that we spent most of the rest of the day asleep.

Saigon was a nice place to end our stay in Vietnam, it was just as hectic as Hanoi but more relaxed at the same time. We spent a good few hours in a lovely park where we reviewed our time in the country. Overall, it was a good country to visit and we were both glad to have seen it, but I think some of the problems we experienced here soured the enjoyment a little. On a more positive note, the bar we stayed over was definately one of the most entertaining places to stay in - EVER! Next stop Cambodia...
