Day 19 - Manila (Phillipines) / Ho Chi Minh (Vietnam) - Goood afternooon Vietnam!

A TRAVELLING WE WILL GO. Another full day of travelling... an early crazy ride through Manila to the airport... a jump to Singapore and a shorter jump to Ho Chi Minh. Both sets of folks were there to greet us at the airport. After an equally crazy drive through Ho Chi Minh we made it to the ancestral home where we paid our respects as newlyweds and then chowed down to the feast provided by one of the aunties, complete with beers with ice. And finally we retired to a 25 dollar a night room which was as good as any hotel room I've been in... and more than 10 dollars better than the Manila room! Heads on the pillow we slept well... ready for a ... gasp... 5 am start the next morning on an epic trip down to southern Vietnam with a minibus full of our folks and misc aunties... 5am... I could barely wait!
LESSON FOR THE DAY: The Wiseman3000 rocks (ask anyone who is a geek and has flown Singapore airlines)... but if you're not a geek and want a lesson... always go through the "I have something to declare line" at Ho Chi Minh... it's heaps shorter!
