Back in Nam !


Well we are back in Vietnam now and what a come down from Thailand, gutted!
Its chinese new year here now and the country has gone crazy,one week of drinking and racing mopeds(accidents everywhere).
We escaped to Saigon for a couple of days and planned to do some tours like normal tourists do.My god do people really do these tours?? Our one and only attempt at being a tourist ended the minute our first tour ended.We went to the chu chi tunnels and it started with a dodgy english speaking guide who repeated everyword he said and gave comedy a bad name. As we sat like proper tourists we cringed for the man and laughed our way through it, it was painfull.Anyway talk about boring, we stopped at a spacka laquer factory on the way where all the agent orange victims made some amazing laquer ware which they sold to the public. Exciting stuff!!!
As many tours were not running because of TET( C, new year) we gave up being tourists and headed back home to Vung Tau.
