HCMCity

Had a great day in HCM City. Stayed at The Rex and it was quite stately. Actually had bed turned down with chocolates. How quaint! The bed was still like a rock I might add but the floor space was larger. Think that is the only difference between 3 star and 5 star. Anyway it was really nice to be pampered before we came home.

Allan booked the hotel car (black mercedes) to go the airport as we heard it was such an ordeal - unluckily for us smooth sailing and the anticipated 2 hr trip was only 35 minutes (you would just know it).

The Cu Chi Tunnels were excellent and the highlight of HCM City for us. Really one city is much the same as another at the end of the day.

Managed to get all out stuff through customs with no problems and have arrived home fit and well and rested.

The girls were really good and have respected our home. That is code which means no visible signs of abuse while we were away and the place was clean and presentable. Always good to come home too.

As I said could have done with a few more days I think - but oh well pretty good for the time we had.

Checked through photos and deleted the really ugly ones of Allan (mine were perfect), and will put some up. Couldn't do it in Vietnamese while we were away as we did not take the crash course on the plane to be bi-lingual.

We had a great time - you should all go ----

Love Sue & Allan
