The first full day in VN we woke up surprisingly refreshed, grabbed some yummy breakfast, took a quick swim and then hopped on the resort’s dedicated water-taxi to get down to HCMC/Saigon. The following day was gonna be jam packed with a guided tour and cooking lesson (part of our prize) so this was really our main chance to do whatever we wanted. Our priorities were to seek out some good food, explore some of the legendary SE Asian markets (for some reason I was obsessed with finding a cheap pair of Ray Ban sunglasses) and checking out some of the alleyways of the city.
Here is our ride to downtown Saigon/HCMC. It went twice a day and was a fairly dull ride aside from the other boats and an occasional bridge. Probably the most interesting part was when we got stuck in a flotilla of plants and the driver had to spend ten minutes or so chopping at the vegetation and reversing the rotors to get us free.
