Ho Chi Minh

Exploring Vietnam

Yes! We are in Vietnam! After 24 hours of serious frustration and tests of patience we eventually made it here. The day after we had first tried to go to Ho Chi Minh city and didn't go because Robert needed a visa for Vietnam, we woke up early to try sorting out what we would do...
