Mui Ne to Saigon

It's only about 200km to Saigon but it takes 5 hours to get there by bus so it doesn't go very fast even the roads are not too bad. It's because of all the things that are going on alongside and on the road. The road is like an endless street with shops, businesses, farms and houses on both sides so obviously it's like driving through a densly populated area all the time. Going by bus is cheap in Vietnam, this trip costs $5. Most buses don't have toilets but they will stop if you are in big need. They also have breaks usually after 3-4 hours.
After Mui Ne we passed through the town Phan Thiet. This side of Mui Ne is green and fertile again and we passed many, many Dragon fruit plantations which seemed to be the main crop in this area. The fruit trees are in all stages of development, some fields are ready for harvesting and some are in flower. They are using extra light to make the day longer to open the flowers in order to produce fruits all year round.
Closer to Saigon it was more Bananas, Maize etc and also some tree plantations only for making wood/lumber.
We arrived in Saigon after dark without having booked hotel but it didn't take us very long to find one.
My stay in Vietnam for this time is coming to an end but I still have some more topics to cover on this blog so keep on visiting!
