Although Roger had another drenching night sweat overnight, he bounced back today, thankfully, with no relapses!
We were escorted to Da Nang airport by Jenny, our delightful guide. We all fell in love with her.
We were met at Ho Chi Minh Airport by our new Guide, Hung. Our room at the Paragon Saigon Hotel is, without doubt, the best we've ever stayed in. It's like an apartment.
The Pascoes and us found a restaurant close by for a very late lunch. We are amazed by the size of the very modern city.
After sunset, we took the evening tour of the Sightseeing Bus and really enjoyed seeing the city lights. We had a late dinner at a very popular street market where a band was playing American country music!
The heat and humidity, now that we are further south, will prove challenging!Read more
TravelerGlad to hear Roger is feeling better & able to sight see etc again. It looks so different to when I was there years ago. Either a different area or better infrastructure as the roads look way less busy now and I'm sure the population would be much higher. Glad you've had guide/s you loved, makes a difference.

TravelerSo am I, Chris! I was starting to think of leaving the tour and flying home!
