day 282, HCM

Me and Michael wandered around looking for Banh Mi for breakfast, basically Vietnamese sandwiches which are supposed to be super yummy, though as it was gone 10:30 they were all shut, so using people power ended at a point and eat place which was really good, including a delicious coffee. On the way back we stopped off at a motorbike dealer to ask about selling the bikes, he said to bring them down for him to look at, so went back, hopped on the bikes and did as we were told. He looked them over and wasn’t too impressed with Martha, offered 100 bucks and I took it. My attitude was considering before my latest breakdown and the 100buck engine rebuild she was in shit state, I was gonna leave her anyway, I just re-couped my 100bucks for the engine rebuild, plus I don’t have to worry about selling a traveller a potentially shit bike and them having a bad time on Martha. Michael had a bit of negotiating to do and kept on saying no and ended up getting pretty much what he wanted, job done! Decided there wasn’t a lot keeping us in HCM, it lacks the charm of Hanoi, so decide to leave tomorrow for Cambodia. We research Cambodia for a bit and bits and pieces then watch Invictus, the nelson Mandela film, before going in search of the best Banh Mi HCM has to offer. It’s 4kms away, my foot is feeling better thank god and the walk isn’t painful and the sandwich was delightful. Between us we share four of them, with a cake, then walking back get some milk and a roti (from the father of all buns, Papa Roti), buy our bus ticket to Phnom Penh (is it sad I’m looking forward to sitting on a bus, imagine not having to spend attention or energy getting somewhere?!) and chill out in the hostel watching a bit of football and planning tomorrow.
