Saigon and the Delta

Hello faithful friends,
Just a quick update. Spent a night in the wild town of Saigon, known for its abundance of motorbike's. There were literally hundreds of drivers at each intersection. It took us on average 5 minutes to cross a street. All part of the challenge. I'm not sure if even Matt Egan could manuever those wild streets in a motorbike. We decided to sign up for a 3 day tour of the Mekong Delta, welcoming the ease of being herded like cattle from one place to the next. We've done some pretty random things on the tour: Bet on and watched a pig race, fed crocodiles with a fishing pole, and stayed at a Vietnamese family's house on the river. We're on the border now between Vietnam and Cambodia. Tomorrow we'll say goodbye to this lovely country, and embark via river boat up to Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. We'll have the luxuries of internet at our hostel there, so we can finally upload some videos and pictures for everyone to enjoy (especially the pig racing). Our mission for tonight is to find a place that serves pizza, as rice and noodles are starting to get repetitive (we did have KFC in Saigon...wonderful). Hope all is well at home!
