I then met up with Helly and Liv, my friends from Uni and Norwich who are on a three week holiday in Vietnam. It was brilliant to see them. So nice to catch up and hang out with friends from home, I wish I could spend the whole trip with them. We had dinner followed by beers on a street stall before heading to our respective hostels.
I had a leisurely wake up the next day and due to our power being cut I, like a super secret agent, snuck into my old hotel to steal wifi.
After that very mild excitement I met Helly and Liv again, this time accompanied by there Aussie friend, Luke.
We went to the old prison building which has been made into a museum. It appears to have history on both ends of the severity scale. During French occupation it was a horrific place, many people chained up with barley any food or water, deficating where they were chained. Apparently only eating raw Morning Glory... I'm sure it is terrible but Helly and I had a giggle about the name! Kids ay!
We then all walked to a temple which was very pretty and there was a graduation ceremony going on so that was also cool.
That evening we all met up with Alex and Gill for dinner, crazy to come halfway round the world and meet up with good friends.
Alex and I got some creaking haggling done, which involved me getting a T-shirt and a broken travel guide for £3. Alex also got a matching shirt, we looked very spiffing!
