Returning

Vung Tau is a place worth a night's stay, no more. I made the mistake of travelling without both our passports, which got us stuck for awhile trying to negotiate the hotel room registration. In the end, I did the unthinkable. I plucked numbers from the air, told the reception this is the passport numbers, fictitious dates of expiry and gave her my Malaysian driving license as proof. Hahaaa.... and she said she needs to register visitors' details at the police station. Uh oh....

The other mistake was having lugged both our helmets from Saigon, only to find that people here are reluctant to rent out bikes without passport as collateral. Stupid mistake. We ended up with a lot of walking, and taxi rides. Dumb dumb dumb.

Oh well, no intention of repeating the trip, so no point griping too much.
