Our last day in Saigon followed straight from our return from the Cu Chi Tunnels. We had 8 hours to kill before getting on
to our 10.30pm overnight train.. So we decided that we wanted a
little taste of home so after an amazing KFC lunch, Dan, Nick,
Katrina and I took a taxi to the newest shopping complex in Saigon..
It was located in the new District, District 5, and I don't think
that many westerners or tourists venture out this way as we were
stared at by everyone.. We were followed around the complex but the
local security, it was quite funny, they were all communicating via
walkie talkie and on each level a new security guard was watching..
We ended up watching the Transformers movie (in English!!!) and it was
fantastic... With still some hours to kill we went to a Mexican
restaurant and the four of us (the only two couples on the tour) had a few local beers to relax us...
The
overnight train was an experience (not a great one) but we arrived at
5am into the beautiful city of Nha Trang..Here is the view from our hotel room
