Last few days in Saigon and then to Cambodia

Tuesday we spent just walking around Saigon and late in the day Tony decided to have some trousers made, measured for two pair and picked them up 7 pm Wednesday. I had a pair of black satin trousers altered as the ones I tried on were a bit tight so were also altered.

Wednesday we went to the history museum and the zoo (zoo not so good) and then to the Jade Pagoda.

Thursday we left for Cambodia and are staying at Raffles and then a tour in the afternoon. Went to the museum and there is so much in there and then to Taprom Temple this was built about 900 and there are trees growing through it which were anything from 170 years old. There was a forest growing all over it and was cleared around about 1920.

Tomorrow we are going to Angkor Thom and then Angkor Wat.

Elephants, our elephant enclosure is so much better than this


Crocodiles - wasn't sure if they were all real as there were so many of them


The Jade Pagoda which is pink

The mad traffic - it is like this all day
