CAMBODIA TO VIETNAM

BUS FROM PHNOM PENH TO HO CHI MINH CITY 

22ND JANUARY 2014



Crossing the border to Vietnam had more effect on me than I expected, my childhood frame of reference being the war. Familiar names now forty years on. The war remnants museum was engrossing, appalling and moving with history and spin from both sides.

We stayed one night in Ho Chi Minh City before our seven hour delay with Jetstar to get us to Hoi An. We booked before we read the reviews!

The Anpha hotel was new and very swish. The first place we've stayed with bed turn down service!
