OK I am still alive and made it further despite not posting.
We made into Saigon and out again, it was too big and crazy with everyone trying to score a few dong off any foreigners they could find. We fled to Mui Ne.
Mui Ne was a small quiet fishing village before 1995 when a complete solar eclipse passed overhead. After that the place was transformed into a beach resort town for Vietnamese and foreign alike. People still fish but many fisherman's sons drive motorbike taxi and their daughters work in hotels. The scenery is spectacular with stretching beaches and expansive sand dunes. We relaxed a few days after hectic cities and busy travel schedules.
Then we took a quick trip to Da Lat in the mountains. Pines grow in abundance there and we ate the best che (vietnamese pudding) from a 74 year old woman who had been selling it for 50 years!
More.... bus coming to take us to Hoi An
