Cam Ranh Bus Station到胡志明市

My girlfriend went to the toilet at night and her socks were drenched in pee. We were supposed to go to Ho Chi Minh center but somewhere in the outskirts we were woken up by people screaming at us that we had to go out. They were so pushy that we ended up forgetting stuff in the bus because of all the stress. After we were put in a minivan that went to pick up and drop off all kind of things in the city before they finally dropped us off in the center.

Man kann nur jedem empfehlen, eine Reise im Hanoi -Saigon-Express zu machen. Unsere Wagons waren alt, aber sauber. Klimaanlage funktioniert. Wir waren am Tag unterwegs und haben daher keinen Schlafwagen gebucht. War ein ordentlicher Ledersitz. Bisschen schade war, daß die Fenster vermutlich durch die vorangegangene Nachtfahrt kondensiert und dann abgelaufen sind. Schwierig zu fotografieren. Teilweise kann man die Fenster im oberen Bereich öffnen. Ich habe den Zugbegleiter gefragt. Fenster auf und dann Video gedreht. Selbst im Inneren der Lok durfte ich fotografieren. Einfach auch Fahrgäste fragen, wenn man etwas möchte. Das Wort "Nein" kennen sie in Vietnam nicht. Verpflegung wird im Stundentakt an den Platz gebracht. Heißes Wasser kommt aus dem Kessel. Kleiner Tipp noch bei der Anfahrt auf Ho Chi Minh City. In Fahrtrichtung linke Seite gibt super Sicht über den Saigon-River auf die Stadt. Ich war auch ein/zwei Stunden im eher rustikalen Speisewagen. Nach zehn Minuten hatten wir eine coole internationale Truppe zusammen. Hat richtig Laune gemacht. Alles in allem klare Empfehlung.

It’s long way from Nha Trang to Sai Gon in a car, and we had a very kind driver who helped us out in a bind when no trains or buses were available.

Cause I am tall man, I felt uncomfortable. Also its hard to sleep cause of high speed

Bon voyage de jour Il serait bien que les couchettes le jour soient neutralisés pour accueillir les 4 passagers en bas Le jour on n a pas toujours besoin de dormir

Book the VIP sleeper 22:40 supposed to arrive at 8 am in HCMC. Received text message a few hours before saying the coach would depart at 22 instead, also changing the station from which we were leaving. The message also said i needed to check in at the counter at the station. When we arrived at station the bus was already waiting. There was no one at the counter so still unclear what that was all about. Bus was comfortable and clean, got a blanket an pillow and there was a WC. At 4 am we were poked at and understood we had to get off the bus. Waited for about 10 minutes and then suddenly a minibus arrived. We got on, and 20 minutes later we arrived at on of main stations I HCMC 3,5 hrs before schedule. Useless time to arrive our budget hotell was locked up. Journey itself ok but everything felt quite confusing.

Рейс был задержан более чем на 3 часа, так как загружали/разгружали посылки. До конечной точки на слипбасе не довезли, заставили пересаживаться на другой микроавтобус

Second driver was late, maybe 20 minutes. First driver followed it up well. Excellent service.

We booked first class. Of course, this cannot be compared with European classes. but I expect at least clean sheets. unfortunately this was not the case. the toilet was also really disgusting. The train is very loud and shakes extremely. It was an experience, but sleeping is almost impossible.

We had paid for a VIP bus but I think that can mean different things depending on the tour company. The bus was dated and was without charging points, however, it was comfortable enough even if it was a little small, arrived in good time, had to transfer to another bus for the last half hour which isn’t very clear. Made plenty of stops for the toilet.
