Jo and Hayley's SEA tour

Last day in Saigon

VIETNAM | Friday, 13 August 2010 | Views [261] | Comments [2]

Hi! All is well, leaving Saigon tomorrow, sleeper train to Nha Trang, $24 for a soft sleeper, will take about 7hrs. Big day yesterday to theme park, I got a bit of heatstroke, so a bit slow today. The girls had a great day, and a young friend of Hayley's called Xu came as well. The theme park was very ornate, and very different compared to a theme park at home. The girls went on plenty of rides, ferris wheel, bumper cars, mini race cars and heaps of other stuff. Some fun carnival type games as well, one of them was hitting a lever with a hammer to get rubber ducks into cooking pots. There was also a water park, so we all had a swim. My headache was well entrenched by that stage, but it was good to cool off. Was a long day, and again think I'm getting too old, could have done with a nap half-way through! Ian arrived this morning from Cambodia, and has booked on the train with us. He was really disappointed that he missed the theme park(not). Billi has not long left to go to the airport, sad to see her go. Hayley and Billi were a bit hungover today, they went out last night for Billi's last night and ended up at the Hard Rock Cafe and thought it was pretty good. I've been having a quiet one, still pretty tired and recovering from heat. Love to all, will write from Nha Trang!

Theme park sounds fantastic,,I'm really sorry I missed that one,(hmmm) You will miss Billi being with you,I'm sure that she is home safe n sound in Tassie.
Your mum sends her love,she is packing her gear for Ettalong Beach,and will leave mid-morning,she is travelling and room sharing with her mate Pat.She says she will catch up on all of your mail when she gets home next Friday.Regardless to say she is taking a goodly supply of alcohol.
I've had a week off,and with any luck that will include tomorrow.Bookings tend to be quiet at this time of the year.
They reckon Asian train services are very good,,,with both timetables and excellent rolling stock,You should all be rocked to sleep and travel easy.
Enjoy your day,,Take Care,,, Lottsa Love Mum n Dad xxxxx

Yeah I bet Ian is shattered he missed the theme park...I know I would have been...that hitting a lever to get rubber ducks into cooking pots sounds riveting...

Reading your journal with interest Jo. It's a great way to share your adventure.

Love,
