the bus/plane/bus combo, wandering through security and boarding the plane at the last minute. Our new guide is Chong and he likes to joke, so we'll get on well after Trung's seriousness.
Saigon is HOT, big and busy, and there are lots of motorbikes to negotiate when crossing the road.
We have a couple of hours free to wander the brand name and fake stores, and get lost. There are lots of tall buildings, a bustling market, and surprisingly little pollution compared to other big Asian cities. We are bussed to a huge restaurant for our now customary 8 course meal. There's a wedding in progress outside, and our Hershey Kisses "good luck" gifts are delicious. A woman on the street is doing a roaring business in polo shirts, and she follows on her motorbike to our hotel so she can sell some more.
A nightcap at a nearby middle eastern bar completes the night.
