Happy New Year
Saigon -
Lucy and I take our first break from Vietnamese food and enjoy a fine feed of french food. We had a magical cyclo ride through Saigon after dinner. A cyclo is a 3 wheel bike with a seat in the front. Just before midnight we got a ride back from the restaurant along the Saigon River and through downtown Saigon back to our hotel through a sea of thousands of people on scooters. It was amazing!!! It ended on a bit of a sour note as the cyclo drivers tried to shake us down at the end of the ride but the ride was incredible. They wouldn't accept anything less than their "extortion price" so to end the discussion I just put what the fair price was on the bike and we walked. Note to anyone thinking of travelling here, if someone says "don't worry"... worry.
