And we're off!!
First my apologies to all those who thought they would be reading a day by day account. Unfortunately, the internet in Vietnam is such that I could not log on to the blog until today (Wednesday 28th March) so I've got a lot of catching up to do. I will also fill in with photos over the coming days as well.
After meeting at the "Big Frog" at 8.30am, we checked in together and departed Sydney International Airport this morning at 11.30am and flew into Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam at 4.00pm on VN782. The flight over was the same old same old, but good from the point of view of getting to know some of the folks we were going to be cycling with .
We met up with the Don, Hobbo and the lads who had headed over a day early. We were originally scheduled to wander about in a local park to get our bike allocation and make sure the bike was properly set up and we were properly kitted out, but this didn't happen so we were at liberty apart from dinner in the evening.
After checking into the hotel we had some free time to explore this fascinating city, formerly known as Saigon. Hobbo and the lads found a bar where we sat for a few hours drinking some beers and taking in the night life, then it was a walk back through the markets to the hotel and so to bed.
We stayed overnight in the Au Lac Hotel.
