GOOD MORNING FROM VIETNAM
Hi there to all
The e-mail account we set up in advance wouldnt work when we got to Saigon so have set up this new one with only a few names on it as yet.
We are in Nha Trang having spent 4 days in Saigon just learning to cross the road. We couldnt get the ferry out of Saigon because they no longer permit bycycles on it so had a long hot slog in amongst the millions of motorbikes out to the coast. Were we brave or were we brave? This key board has lost its letters an I am only guessing so there may be mistakes. Steep learning curve in all areas here and we go from abject squalor to dizzy luxury in just hours. heat is excessive (100 F) and high humidity. We have to get out on bikes by 6a.m. Are gasping by 10 and have to stop by noon. Gale force wind starts mid morning. However it's all flat. Today we got on a bus to avoid a long ride along what is essentially a building site for future mass tourism but is not attractive at the moment.
We hardly eat for fear of a bug but Derek has been seen eating RICE! and NOODLES!
We send lots of love and will get some more names on the list soon
Ursula and Derek
