Vung Tau Day 1

So today we decided to take it easy and just take things at our own pace. We decided to sleep in. We both ended up waking up at 6:45am still...hahha. Headed out to catch the hydrofoil to Vung Tau, a beach town, an hour and a half boat ride from Ho Chi Minh City. Wow, how crazy it is to try to cross the street. I'm starting to get a hang of it. Slow and steady pace and remember that buses/cars don't stop and motorbikes weave around the pedestrians. Oh yah and most intersections don't have traffic lights at all. So we made it in one piece to the hydrofoil station...phew!

Vung Tau is beautiful. We ended up taking a look at the beach first then we did a trek up to the huge Jesus statue.
It's so crazy! I just calculated with Susan how much we spent today. The most expensive item today was the boat ticket which was $10 US. Our hotel is $5 each. I had 2 buns for breakfast and lunch was $1.25, dinner was chicken pho for $1, some water and a pop was 50 cents. Wow, that's only $17.75 of spending today!
