Today went a little bit unplanned. Originally we headed to the bus station with our swimming stuff for a day at the water park. We asked which bus we should get and the people there told us that it was closed and tried to take us to a different water park that I’ve heard is nothing special once you’re aged over 10 so I was a bit annoyed and we gave it a miss. So we had nothing planned and were just stood there outside the bus station when it started to pee it down, monsoon style (like the one that canceled the grand prix in Malaysia this weekend). We ran over the road to Ben Thanh market for a few hours. After a browse we got some cheap food in there and Taz got an ace prezzie for his dad, small enough to carry until we get home :-)

The rain didn’t ease up. But with the hot weather and the warm rain it was hard to resist behaving like kids, so we pranced back in the rain to the hotel like crazy people. All that was missing was ‘I’m singing in the rain”. I got video of evidence of the monsoon and how fun they are. If you can’t be childish when you’re traveling, when can you be childish?!

We booked a full days tour for tomorrow that only cost us a fiver each. It takes us to the Cu Chi tunnels and a famous temple, the Cao Dai in Tay Ninh.

We had a good cheap tea and some excellent 40p beers tonight. We’ve found a pub that sells beer cheaper than in the supermarket. yey! I think we have a 6th sense now that can sniff out the cheapest beer in town. Ha ha. We got a little peckish after a few mini kegs, so we grabbed a kebab and some crabs. And another keg to takeaway ;-)
