Arrived at 7.30 this morning after a 12 hour flight from Paris. Very rapid transit through Customs and immigration. Not surprisingly as we were the only plane there.
Dramatic taxi ride to hotel on the banks of the Saigon river. Millions of motorcycles coming from every direction. How they avoid constant collisions is one of the wonders of the world.
Walked around the city this morning. Incredibly hot, 29C at present. My book says it always rains in the afternoon so I have my brolly handy. Hoping to visit the Reunification Palace, from where the Americans fled in 1975, and the Museum of American War Crimes and atrocities. It`s the city`s biggest attraction apparently. Should be fun.
