Finally we're able to access the internet for the first time in two weeks. Everybody in India kept assuring us that , Oh yes, we can certainly get wifi, but in fact, there was none in the 'compound' we stayed in for 10 days, none in our Indian friend's house where we stayed last night, none free in Delhi Airort as we were told...and none even in Singapore on our stopover (except for afew kiosks thaat one couod use for max 15 minutes...\Finally we have free wifi from our hotel [Hotel Indochine]at which we just arrived. Stupidly beaurocratic hassle at airport getting visa authenticated and a bald-faced money grab. 33C in early evening. Huge city, , mixture of very modern skyscrapers and older buildings in the centre. endless drive from airport (only half hour but driver got lost a couple of times. Vast amounts of motorcycle and motor scooter traffic but orderly. There are traffic rules here, people wear helmets, and never more than 3 people on a bike at simultaneously [unlike Delhi (5, even 6 on one bike)..and all India.. which is just simply traffic chaos...driving madness]).
I'm too tired to write much tonight on my wee Asus computer with the tiny little keyboard which . We woke up at 5am in Delhi to catch our 8:10 flight, and have been traveling all day. Now for some zzzzz's.
More later. Photos to come.
Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteWe are just departing HCMC Tuesday morning, sad to go after a week in Vietnam. We could have met up last night ... Another restaurant recommendation - the buffet at the Intercontinental Hotel. All you can eat and drink and everything very yummy. Love Jeff and Dianne
