There are dingoes roaming the streets of Vietnam. To look at the dogs here you have the feeling you’ve seen them somewhere else. I have read that our dingo is descended from the Vietnamese dog and from my thorough investigation, I reckon they’re right! They look similar and display that similar sense of confidence and cunning.
Today is an easy one. I fly back to Saigon tonight at 9.30pm so I’m just filling in the day. It’s a chance to do a bit of shopping, for myself mainly! I have a beer at a restaurant on the Perfume River. From here you can look up the river and the old bridge, which was severed during the War, is coloured in changing lights. its a beautiful sight.
The weather has turned ugly and apparently there is a cyclone off the Phillipines that is having an effect here. There are gusting winds and rain squawls but nothing too serious. The flight goes to plan and I arrive in Saigon at 10.40pm and move into a hotel very close to the airport. It’s not a good location and the room is windowless so I will move tomorrow.
