Day 55 17/12/2009

I know my cycling journey through Vietnam is now over but for shits and giggles I might continue with this blog so I can browse over it on a future date as a reminder.

Today I had a few bits and pieces I needed to sort out, first thing was to get my Thai visa for 2 months which I found out was free. I also went to pick up my box of goodies I sent on the train from Hanoi, personally I thought it was going to be a bit of a hassle as it had been sitting at the train station for well over a month now, but again as it turns out they did not charge me anything extra. Fantastic!

I also moved from the hotel with the dorm room to another hotel that was cheaper with an American guy (Joey) I had met when I arrived in the city.

I spent a bit of time washing my bike so I could sell it tomorrow and whilst cleaning it I bumped into a bunch of people I had met on this Journey including a German Couple I had met in Russia 3 months ago, two Danish girls I had met in China briefly and also in Hoi An, and some others from Nha Trang and Mui Ne… it really is a small world.

I spent the day walking around Saigon with a Chinese Canadian girl I had met in the hotel who was pretty sound. We went out for a few drinks in the evening but as we were all tired and decided to have another early one. So much for the celebratory drinks L… might as well save my money until im in Thailand for the full moon party… cant wait!
