Hi Everyone,
just a quick message from us ... we arrived in Sai Gon last night, all went well except we were in a "flying freezer" from Gold Coast to Kuala Lumpur ... now we know what it's like for Santa and no wonder Rudolph has got a red nose!!!
Miss Kim was welcoming us, waiting outside the hotel ... "Oh what a feeling "Only Viet Nam" Christmas decorations everywhere, lights and shop windows with Merry Christmas"
Have to go and have breakfast now.
An Hour later ...
Just to update you ... went down to the little cafe at the hotel ... the owner of the cafe shop came and greeted us, which was nice. Then our paper girl, who sells us the local paper every day was overjoed to see us. Then the hamock hawker came and gave Matt a big HI5 ... what a welcome!!!
Now working the phones to get the local sim cards working, Uli's is already and she is texting away ...
Work in progress ...
Been to CBD to get our German Christmas Cake - Christstollen from the Schneider bakery. Looks nice, tast test later on for afternoon tea. CBD is full of Christmas decorations and lights, must go tonight ...
Had lunch at our ususal restaurant, then a nap. Just heard from HOA, the party he had planned on Christmas Eve is not happening. Team is flat ... no alternatives.
Now we are off to the Peace Orphanage.
