Ahh the first real day of our holiday as we wake up to the sights and sounds of Saigon. A truly extravagant breakfast awaited us on the top floor with a wonderful mix of western and Vietnamese food.
Stepping outside to take some photos the heat really hits me. I suspect a lot of water will be drunk in the next few days.
Main mission today – relearn how to cross a road.
Step 1 – remember that traffic is on the opposite side of the road to home. Look in the right direction before stepping out!
Step 2 – take a deep breath and trust in the advice I’ve read.
Step 3 – step out onto road and walk slowly and steadily across the road. At no stage pause, run or make way for the stampede of scooters coming towards you. Trust that they know what they are doing and you’ll be fine.
Step 4 – watch out for big buses – they don’t swerve around you.
