The Big Tour - Day 34 - Thursday 2nd March - Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon to Hoi An

 Packed things ready to go later and then went for a walk, we headed for the Saigon Notre Dame and found it to be closed and full of scaffolding all around it. So we didn’t see it in its glory but to be honest it was a lot smaller than I expected when compared with the original in Paris.

Decided to continue on and look for the Jade Temple and stopped at the coffee shop that serves coffee to change your life. Have to admit that it was lovely!! Mine was iced and Tasha had one of those sweet ones. She didn’t complain although I’m sure she sorely wanted to!!

Also, she could go into the Templar as her shoulders weren’t covered but she didn’t miss much.

We walked back to the hotel and were soaked from sweating, it was very hot today. Got our bags, said goodbyes and took a Grab to the airport but got dropped off at the International terminal so after a mild panic we found we only needed to walk a bit to Domestic departure terminal. Checked in the bags and got a McDonalds and felt guilty for doing so.

Airport was fine and we got in our place to Hoi An on time. It’s going to be colder there by about 6-10 degrees which might feel quite a lot different. We will soon see, I’m typing this whilst on the plane.
