Xin Chao (pronounced seen chow- meaning hello) 3/4 B,
Thanks for reading my blog.
By the way that building in the photo from my first blog was the elephant house. It's called the elephant house because of its height. In the part of Vietnam where these types of houses are built elephant's live and if they don't want to get their house knocked down they need to make it high.
The basket boat was a very big round boat made out of bamboo and looked like a basket. It had a frame inside it to sit down on to. That was NOT a spring onion on my head, that was actually a water palm leaf, Brooke!
We have done quite a lot of stuff since the last blog. We travelled to Vinpearl Land which is in Nha Trang in a cable car which stretched across the sea. Vinpearl land had lots of rides like a roller coaster that you could control yourself. It had a 550m climb up a hill and then when you got to the top you had a 1220m downhill track that you controlled how fast you went and braked when you wanted to. The top speed was around 30-40km per hour. There was a ride that spun you around and upside down. Bec almost fell out and you stayed upside down for around 5-10 seconds. There was water slides there as well as you will see in the photos. We saw an animal show with dogs and monkeys that performed tricks.
My sisters went para sailing and I went jet skiing for 15 minutes. Five minutes of it I drove it without my Dad on the back. We have gone to lots of different types of restaurants and they were all good. I liked the Italian place the most.
We flew into Saigon today and we will spend four nights here. We are going on a city tour tomorrow and then on a cruise on the Mekong Delta River a couple of days after that. Then we will fly home the next day.
I'm looking forward to seeing you all soon.
Chao (pronounced chow - meaning goodbye) 3/4 B!
