Vietnam - On a bus in the middle of nowhere
Day 24
15.12.2004
26 °C
This morning we got up at 8:00 but didn't leave the house til after 10:00. We went to a local internet cafe for like an hour and a half - too many emails to reply to. We then headed off to visit temples and palaces. However when we got there they were all closed for the day - just our luck - and we went to Diamond Plaza shopping centre. We met Brenda for lunch before heading home. We had two mintue noodles for tea and had a quick rest.
We caught a taxi back into saigon so we could get on our bus to Nha Trang. We got on the bus at 8:45. Our driver was so disgusting and rude - he wouldn't let sick people sit up the front or anything like that plus he smoked and spat all the time. I read a book before trying to sleep. I managed to drift off for a little bit but the traffic is so loud even late at night.
We had a quick stop for a toilet break. We went one at a time and when i was waiting we saw locals spying over the back wall at people using the toiled. We yelled at them and managed to scare them away but it was still quite frightening. By the end of the night we were still driving with another six hours of driving ahead of us
