    More exploring the delta today, can't believe how hot and humid it is at 7:00. I think we are visiting a bonsai nursery today and this evening heading back to Saigon for a couple of nights before heading off to Cambodia to see Angkor Wattere given an artificial red rose to celebrate the day and outside the hotel loads of flower stalls have sprung up selling flowers and posies of all description.
    It's Vietnamese national women's day today, all women at breakfast were given an artificial rose.
    Well I know wine is dear here but four people in our group have just gone to settle the bar bill, and the wine they chose with their evening meal cost 16 million dong (£537) 🤣🤣🤣 I don't think they looked or checked their bill, but now it's a hilarious farce at check out.
    My bottle was £30 between two of us and we were laughing because our bottle was poured into our glasses but theirs was decanted into a real fancy decanter and we said we weren't drinking the dear stuff....but I think they didn't realise 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Well disappointed with bonsai nursery, we were an hour late, our guide was more interested in talking about his view and we had no chance to listen or ask the grower any questions
