At the sydney airport

We Are Here At Last!!!

Hi Everyone..well we made it here at last...we arrived in Ho Chi Minh City(Saigon) at 9 45 pm on thurday night after stopping over at Darwin for 2 hours. The Customs Officer at the new Airport wanted to extort some money from us ..saying we are bringing in the bicycles to sell or to be given to some vietnamese friends after we convinced them that we are genuine bicycle tourist ,they let us exit the airport. The first thing we did was to exchange some money to vietnamese dong,Lou change $100 US and I changed $100 aud,we both became instant Millionairs
After we exit the airport we saw a guy holding up a sign with Mr.Lim so Louu guessed that was for us..our private taxi from Hotel phoenix 74.next we had to store our bikes at the left luggage storage and it cost us 20 US $ for 3 days..the ride to the hotel was not so far..and the driver..demonstrated his excellent singing voice...saying he is a frequent karaoke visitor,after checking in we went out for supper round the corner of bui vein street ,,we had PHO the vietnaese beef noodles and ice tea,,which Lou reminded me it taste like th same chemical ice tea, we had before in Hanoi,,after that it was bed time.....
