DIARY - Friday 29th February 2008 It has been a blast down the coast, past bill boards advertising the biggest most luxurious holiday resorts you could imagine. If you want to go to Vietnam go now, because in ten years it will look like any other luxury resort, the building boom has started. My visa ran out yesterday and the hotel had to be 'persuaded' to let me register. I roll into Nha Trang where I buy a ticket to fly to Saigon tomorrow. The Honda has had one last trick up her sleeve, just to annoy me. Most scooters in England have a variable belt system, I just assumed this was the same, I didn't even look at the transmission when I bought the bike. Riding along today there was an alarming banging coming from 'down in the nether regions'. I pulled up at one of the many repair shops that line the streets and with a noisy miming act I try to make the mechanic understand there is something seriously wrong. He undoes the chain guard, oils and tensions the chain and smiles. There is a small orphanage in Nha Trang who now possess the scooter and I hope they have more love for her than I did.
