We're alive!

Hi hi it's day 5 of our trip at Vietnam!
Everythings been amazing but there has not been any Internet so I haven't been able to get online. But we finally updated 3G on jazzs phone so ill try to blog about what Ive been up to.

Day 1
Plane rides would have to be on top of my list for worse feeling ever, but we ended up taking 10 hours to get to Vietnam as we had to stop by at Darwin for 2 hours, it was as hot as Vietnam but more dry.
After our flight however we landed n got caught up at Vietnam customs cause we had lots of boxes (full of clothes for my relatives) but they just thought it was suss
We walked rogue door to the biggest crowd as if a celebrity had arrived to the country, and there was Warren, the biggest white guy with his little girlfriend waving at us :)
We walked towards them n got called out by my aunty n uncle!
We went over to drop some stuff of at aunty n uncles house left for our hotel.
Warren took us to the night markets but it was bout to close. It's so surprising that they speak English now, 6 years ago they spoke no word of English but now they can sell things to u.

Day 2
We got up at 6.30am feeling like crap cause of the jet lag, but we wanted to get some food n check out the pool before we had to check out.
We then went to he markets with my aunty n bought some Vietnamese dresses and clothes.
We ate pho here, it was frikin amazing. I can not eat the pho at cabramatta but this pho was so good I'll go back everyday.
They said that the food here is actually more healthier than food in austrlia because here isn't any perservatives n flavor enhancers here. But you do taste the difference.
We then took a very long drive to a smaller village where they had the nice beaches.

Day 3
We moved hotels to a beach resort where we had fresh caught seafood, we also got a chance to play around the beach, the water was mercy but not cause it was dirty, cause the sand was dark
We then left to see a traditional Vietnam wedding, it was a little boring cause most of the time we had to wait, but when people started getting drink n dancing it was the funniest thing ever!
We then left n to get some more food, there was a complete black out at the restuarant
And before sleep we walked on the beach.

Day 4
We hung out with Warren n tuyet for a bit before we left to no chi Minh city.
After our 4 hour trip back we were able to try out the KFC here, it was actually nice as well, chicken was smaller, not that greasy and it cam with rice! It cost 12$ for 5 meals
We got home n rested, then me n Dave went to get our nails done lol
That was what we did for our 2 years anniversary cause there was nothing else to do.

And today, day 5 we going to a waterpark
