I got up pretty late packed my bag and went to the ATM to get money. We said goodbye to our friends we had made over the week and got on our bus around 2pm.
We left Mui Ne passing beautiful scenery and soon outside the bus window dirty streets and millions of motor bikes started to take over.
We arrived in Saigon and got a room at hotel 96 with a guy from Brooklyn that we had met on the bus. Walked the streets for a while taking in the city. We met some guy's sitting on the street in small chairs where you could get a liter of beer for 11,000 dong which is around 50 cents per liter. So we hung out there for a while and chatted with the group, a few Germans, an Aussie, a guy from Holland, an English dude and a Cali boy who was from San Francisco. As we sat there Rachel the Canadian girl who we met in Lao walked by and then the English guys from Pai and then a Irish girl we had met in Mui Ne. Saigon is definitely a place all travelers end up in and obviously we have all been on somewhat the same path meeting up in lots of difference place. It was cool to share our stories and find out what places people had been and what they liked the most. I stayed out until around 3am roaming Saigons merchant infested streets and then had to call it a night.
