Day 1 - Perth to Ho Chi Minh City

We had a seamless flight to Vietnam on Singapore Airlines.... all was going well ... until arrival at HCMC!

Despite paying more to go via the visa express lane, Troy was denied entry (spelling error on his visa!) ... so 1.5hrs and $250 later we got through unscathed! 😆

And to think how chuffed we were with ourselves for paying the extra for express - the normal queue was crazy long and over an hour wait! 🙃

I booked an AirBnB for like $110pn and its awesome... huge apartment with awesome views! 👌

My Aussie friend Quyen (originally from HCMC) recommended a restaurant for dinner... we looked around and there was absolutely noone else eating here! Normally I would NOT dine here because of this... but we did anyway cos I trusted her taste considering she's a restaurant owner!!

Long story short... turns out we'd walked into the wrong one but thankfully the food was clean and we didnt get sick!

So from waking up at 3am to dinner at 7pm, it was a very long day needless to say, we slept well!😴Read more
