Ho Chi Minh City...first impressions

First impressions from the girls..hot and humid and lots of scooters. A lot more friendly than Hong Kong and smaller buildings. Busy as hell. We arrived in 34 degrees and thankfully were greeted at the airport. Madame Cuc where we are staying is fabulous and there is a wonderful woman working here called LyLy who within 10 minutes had organised us, booked our flights to Da Nang and booked our trip to the Cu Chi tunnels. Thankfully an air-conditioned bus for the journey. An interesting place. Clever buggers the Viet Gong. I managed 30 metres of the tunnel before claustrophobia kicked in. Big girl! An experience none the less and quite fascinating. Worth a read up on if you have the time you teachers out there. We are going to head out for a cool drink now we are showered and freshened up. Really hot. One needs to gather ones strength to navigate the scooters, the tooters, the buses, cars, people, stallholders and hawkers. Quite fun and not too bad with a map.
