Well after a horrendous 16 hour flight from Heathrow to Saigon I’ve arrived and I have a coach ride to the hotel still to do. It’s a nice hotel and I’ll be bunking with another guy called Sanjay for the rest of the ride. Since leaving London at 08:00 on Saturday and arriving in Vietnam at 12:00 Sunday I’ve had no sleep and I am very tired! But there is still stuff to do like the bike fitting, having lunch and our first bike briefing. After lunch and the bike fitting I chose to stay in the hotel and get a couple of hours of sleep before the dinner tonight. Some of the rest went out to do a bit of site seeing, I think I took the smarter option as it decided to pour it down that afternoon. Saw a lot of tired wet people later on

This evenings dinner was a bit of a surprise for Trix as it was her birthday and the Reps had got her a birthday cake to celebrate with. After dinner everyone went to bed as we would be getting up at 05:30 the next day for a tour of the tunnel complex built by the Vietnamese during the war with America. Once that was over we would start our bike ride to Cambodia.
