2015-10-11 Day 16 - Back Home!

Arrived home early in the morning. Nice to be home. Nice and warm. Sweet sauce chicken!

2015-10-10 Day 15 - Botanical Gardens / Goodbye Singapore

Noodles and croissants for breakfast in hotel - yummy! A bit early though, as we had such a late night! Changed some money and took a taxi to the Botanical Gardens - it was very relaxing, and all we could do in half a day. Had to get back by 2pm, and left to airport. We noticed some people being bumped off this flight because of us! We were hoping we were going to get some nice seats, not nope, only Aisle 1.

2015-10-09 Day 14 - Hello Singapore

Nope, not a typo - they just didn't bother to tell us we were going to spend the night in Singapore. But they did try to say the flight left early - they must think we are pretty dumb. We were met off the plane, and we got a taxi to Days Hotel. Roxy split here chin open while we were ordering food in Ho Chi Mihn, and it bled all the way to Singapore. We had to see the doctor at around 2am, and got to our hotel after that. We're gonna be tired tomorrow!

Aiyshy not happy as she was going to miss her party, but we did get to see ANW at the airport!

2015-10-09 Day 13 - Vietnam War Museum / Farewell Ho Chi Mihn

Lazy wake up back at Little Saigon Boutique Hotel. Egg station! Rushed out to the Vietnam War Museum. Very disturbing, but very real. Tried to go for rooftop coffee but way too exorbitant. Went to a nice restaurant, but did a very average pizza that had to be complained about to the embarrassment of the girls. River walk, shopping. Bakery,  shopping. Great bargains. Back to hotel,  quick pack for airport and just as we began to left, the skies opened and there was an absolutely massive downpour. Took ages to get to the airport, but got there on time.

Our connecting flight times are wrong (5pm the following day), but no doubt just a typo. Had some nice won ton soup noodles at the hotel restaurants though!

2015-10-08 Day 12 - Cancelled Flight / Back to Ho Chi Mihn

Big breakfast again - lovely, hung around a bit, then packed up. Left at 10, another fallen pole on the road. Got to the airport on time, but flight was delayed by 2 hours. Rained. Played sheriff,  mastermind, checkers. Snack lunch. Sundaes! We arrived HCM at 5, back to the craziness. Bohdi tree again, but Mummy needed a maccas for dinner. Markets, funny bargaining, and best bargaining of the whole holiday! Shoes!

2015-10-07 Day 11 - Vinpearlland / Fishing

Big Brekkie. Not another water park - Vinpearlland water park, amazing. Possibly the best visit ever? There were literally a maximum of 15-20 people there the whole day - it was quite bizarre. It was like they opened the park for us privately! Tornado,  space bowl, drop, boomerang, slide races. Helped group of 3 on rides.

We got back at 430 for fishing. We had loads of bites from huge fish that stole our lines, and in the end only caught 2 - Coral trout and a small fish. We saw an amazing sea snake at dusk skittering across the top of the sea - our boat man was a little bit wary of it. We arrived back in the dark and for dinner we had our fish fried - lovely! The mung bean pudding was not so great though.

2015-10-06 Day 10 - Snorkeling / Fishing / Rain!

Roxy still not 100%. Big breakfast, bacon, pancakes, bread, juices, fruit - lovely! Girls played while Mum and Dad went kayaking to the fishing village - just around the corner! Sprint training with Paish in the midday heat - it was scorching! Lunch in our room. Booked a boat and went snorkeling and saw a huge cuttlefish. We then spent some time fishing which we were very unsure about, but when we got into the swing of things we caught six fish! Roxy caught most of them, and she loved it! We gave all the fish to the boatman as we were going out that night.

We took a long taxi ride to the market for seafood dinner and shopping - taxi was so expensive, but worth it. Lovely dinner, finished off with some ice creams. Second movie night - Gravity and Lone Survivor.

2015-10-05 Day 9 - Roxy Not Well / Kayaking

Roxy not well today with a high temperature and sickness. Dad went running on the beach and tried out the makeshift gym they have here. We decided to have a lazy day. Mum and Roxy looked after hermit crabs and went swimming. We all did a bit of reading and snorkeling. Light lunch, then we went kayaking which was very cool apart from some cheesy men taking photos. Daddy not happy and asked them to stop - funny man, Daddy. Had an early dinner. We decided to have a movie night and watch Gravity.

2015-10-04 Day 8 - Arrived Phu Quoc

Early start. Normal breakfast for once. Roxy had her photo taken with loads of puppies to help them be sold - ahhhh! Said goodbye to pets, Willow and Tee, then took a taxi to Rach Gia.

Lunch at a dodgy port - noodles. We then caught a ferry to Phu Quoc with crazy loud music, no wifi, absolute torture. When we arrived we we were picked up by Peppercorn Beach Resort.

They gave us an amazing passion fruit drink to welcome us. Staff lovely. Walk along beach. A lot of rubbish. Dinner was okay. Funny incident with a blocked toilet - was that very funny.
