Loreto Team A - Final Update

Just checking in from group A, we arrived in Ho Chi Minh safely and happily
yesterday morning. We all had a ball in Hoi An - shopping, eating, shopping,
eating... Yesterday after we arrived into the warm and humid city, we checked
into our hotel and made our way to the War Remnants museum. Today we woke up
early for a full and busy day in this hectic city. We got our bearings and
walked to the Ho Chi Minh city museum managing to master the art of crossing
roads, we marvelled at all the artworks and everything to see. We then further
made our way to the Opera House and got photos, of course including a quick
coffee and chocolate stop. We managed to flag down some cabs and paid between
15,000 and 250,000 for the same trip (we definitely learnt some lessons there),
we travelled to the Fine Arts Museum which was amazing! Following this busy
morning we had lunch and made our way to the Benh Ting markets. They were
massive and we managed to do some more shopping... Watch out for the weasel
coffee... We continued to move on to dinner (more food) and we decided to go to
an expensive restaurant to spend our budget, Lemongrass restaurant was awesome!
Following this we got even more food, chocolate sundaes, brownies, ice-cream -
everything we hoped for was in this ice-cream parlour! After this long and
fulfilling day, we have just made it home to the hotel and we all plan on trying
to squish everything into our big backpacks (hopefully not exceeding 20kgs!!)
Tomorrow we have an early wake up (5am) and we shall be travelling to the
airport, headed for Bangkok, then onto Sydney. We have all had an amazing time
and we can't wait to see you all when we arrive very shortly.
Just a reminder to all the parents, don't forget to pick us up!
See you soon,
Love Courtney Bellemore and Team A
