Saigon

Caught the bus from Phnom Phen to Saigon today. Saw these ladies carrying some food to market while waiting for the bus...
The trip took about 7 hours.. was a pretty good run.
This was a big temple looking thing on the way... It was pretty good looking.. had the old temple architecture but looked like it was built a lot more recently.

Crossed the Mekong on the ferry (in the bus).
Had a feed in Vietnam for afternoon lunch.. was pretty good.. looking forward to trying more of the food on offer.

Mum, Sonny (Sister) and Matt (Nephew) came to Saigon.. met them at the airport and helped get them back to the hotel where they were staying. We all had a beer and then went for a bit of a feed.

Spent 1 day walking around town. Had some food and went to a nice park...

Mekong Delta
We went to the Mekong Delta on the second day...
Drinking some tea...Canal ride...

Driving back into Saigon...
Mum, Sonny and Matt left to go north on a 13 day trip towards Hanoi and then back to Australia.
