Today October 9 the rate is 20 595 VND = 1 Aus $. We are looking at the possibility of getting a Hydrofoil from HCMC to Vung Tau. It takes about one hour and they head out about every hour all day. We are trying to find out if we can get our bikes on the boat. That would be a fabulous start to our tour of VN. We are also looking at a bit of train travel to Lao Cai from Hanoi in the North on the Chinese border. So many choices.
