Danang

I now understand what they mean when they say that the tourist path through Vietnam is well established. Almost a little too much. The upside is that all western amenities and comforts are readily available.

Danang especially in My An can be a bit much for me on some streets but other streets are blissfully relaxed and quiet still.

The My Quang right outside my door is delicious, the coffee as abundant as ever and the water of the East Sea refreshingly cold. The humidity of a constant >80% is something I need to get used to.

Saigon

It was already dark when I arrived in Ho Chi Minh City. First impression: Coffee. Coffee everywhere anytime. Doesn’t matter if it is in the middle of the night or early morning.

Also, the food is pretty good here (understatement). Next morning Breakfast Banh Mi. I always get a tactical one for the road as well.

Off to Nam

Jetstar flight from Sydney to Ho Chi Minh City

After only two short nights in Sydney I am heading out to Vietnam where I will probably stay for a longer time. I again found a very reasonably priced flight and on Sunday 16th of February I left the Southern Hemisphere. I can see myself visiting Australia again in the future but for now I want to explore SEA.

Koala

Even though I only stayed in Darling Harbour Sydney for two nights I had to see some Koalas. There were some only a two short ferry rides away. I went super early when there were still not so many visitors around. Maybe too early because the Koalas were also still sleeping.
