Thursday 2 July
So we arrived in Saigon after 15 hours of travel. We got 3 meals throughout the route. From Copenhagen to Bangkok, there are 8645 km and from Bangkok to Saigon, there are probably 1355 km, so we've just made one quarter jordomrejse.Vi was taken in Saigon and the Hoang Thang. We were accommodated at the Hotel Orient (running for that purpose by taxi and Hoang Thang). There is a massive traffic here, most of mopeds. They run across the road width, and you must have your tongue right in the mouth. They have a good heat here, we are probably at 32 degrees, but after having rested for 15 hours, we are ready for adventure. Fortunately you have also thought of air conditioning, so we are running with 17 degrees in the room. We have just been out to see Old Presidential Palace, now called Independence Museum. I park in front of the museum so that the tanker, which ran through the gate grid 30 / 4 in 1975 and marked the end of "American War". V also had a guide who spoke very fast in broken English, but we got through the whole story that way. On the return trip, we passed a supermarket (Big C) 200 MTR. from the hotel, where we bought beer, biscuits and cheese to the prosecutor's trip tomorrow. We were out to eat at. 1900, we were invited by Cheu, who was visiting Ireland in May. Excellent fish dinner with tigerrejer, squid, snails, fish, soups, etc. Gourmet for fiskespisere. But unfortunately, we must up early tomorrow.
Picture from our window. The image is cheating, because the traffic was 5 times as bad!

We were up early because we were able to see a lot before we left Saigon. First was the trip to Cu Chi tunnels. It was incredibly exciting to see these recalls American War. Several of the team tried to go through the very narrow tunnels, and they reported very cramped, low tunnels, bats booze backhoe on the head. We also tried to shoot with a machine gun, and it sounds ĝresĝnderrivende high we can greet and say. Then we drove to the Tay Ninh Cao Dai movement. Unfortunately we came late to the influx, but then most of their fair. We rode now to Tam's mother's restaurant, again great food and even great entertainment. Tams mom is a good cook and a good singer. Really good food and several beer to rinse it down with only 45 kroner home and quickly in a bath and then to dinner again, this time with Hoang. We unfortunately had to hurry because we had the rash through Saigon traffic to the station to meet the train at. 19.40. We did it happily and got very good 4-sack chambers. Fortunately, we had victualling with biscuits and drinks and sat and hyggede us at. 12. We were at the back. 5 in the morning when we were in Nha Trang at. 5:30. Unfortunately, we were initially to the wrong hotel and wasted little time. It was not so good for the family Grĝnfeldt who had booked diving kl. 7:30. They reached it, but not breakfast.
