Don’t be worrying about the wish lists Cindy; just remember to get to the Post Office today haha. As some will know I have not been allowed to have any new cv’s for a couple of years now, the corrupt customs in Saigon wont let me have them without me paying and its so frustrating seeing all the beauties and not being able to buy.

Fortunately I was blessed to be born English [which to me means don’t easily give up without a fight] and like I say I am ready, next Monday it’s an overnight sleeper train to Ho Chi Minh city, then an overland bus trip across the border into Cambodia,  then to a hotel in Phnom Penh, at this hotel there is already a bottle of Supernova waiting [me and Cindy had a trial run last week testing out Cambodian Customs and all went well], to coincide with my arrival at this hotel there should be 4 new cv’s yeeaaaa and finally I get my hands on a Sizzle.

Then its getting them back, this time by motorbike [I will be a pillion with the cv’s in my back pack and the back pack used as a back rest on the bike] over the mountains stopping overnight in a Central Mountain city called Dalat then finally home to Nha Trang, hopefully all will go well and they will be in my garden on Friday, bit of an adventure and I will write Saturday to let you know how I got on.

Way to go David. It is always exhilarating to see the individual will triumph over bureaucratic obstructionism.

It almost sounds like the plot of a movie. Ha ha. Hope you have a great adventure! And enjoy the new CV's!

Gosh, David, your adventure SHOULD be made into a movie!  Be careful!!!!!! We sent the hibiscus last Monday, so hopefully they will be there. Don't do anything tooooooo crazy!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL It's true though that we're all a little crazy!  Look at Charlie and me making a biz out of this addiction! All of us turning our houses, basements, every inch of our yards into hibiscus heavens.... Some kind of nuttiness factor in all of us?

BE CAREUL and make it home safely, David!!!!!!!

Made it safely back, no problem with Cambodia or Vietnam Customs, the cv's are all ok, Blushing Peach is in a little shock but I am sure it will be fine in a few days.
Sorry Denise just seen your post, besides Sizzle I also had Bright Hope and Fuschia Delight.
Very tired now so it will be nice to sit and look at all the photo's of the day I have missed, a quick glance has shown me that Erny has had some beauties.

Yay David! So happy to hear that you made it back safe and sound from your adventure, treasures in hand... I don't know if I should think of you as Indiana Jones or James Bond (LOL!)  Cheesy

Definitely James Bond (British, you know). David, you make me proud of my English heritage. I posted a photo of Bright Hope yesterday and it looks even better on day two today. Still waiting for my Fuchsia Delight to pop its first.

Haha more like Mr Bean I think. Looking forward to Bright Hope but I doubt I will ever see a second day bloom Erny, of all my cv's the only one that will go 2 days here is Cosmic Gold, its just to hot.
