thewills'wanderings

We spent a few days here which can be described best as the Surfers Paradise of Vietnam. It was a fun place to hang out for a few days but didn’t really have any character. It was full of Vietnamese people who were on summer vacation and overseas tourists like us. There were lots of resort style restuarants on the beach with umbrellas you had to pay to sit under. (We just went kiwi style and actually sat on the sand except for once when we snuck into a flash restaurant and Charlotte dived in the pool while we looked at the menu and decided that the prices were a bit excessive, and then dragged her out of the pool and hit the beach). I know, life’s hard.

So, here we pretty much just hung out, recharged our batteries,swam and lay on the beach. Tim, once again felt the need to hire a motorbike (personally, I think he’s struggling having no vehicle of his own and the cheap motorbike hire is a good opportunity for him to hoon around).

One day we went on a snorkelling trip out to an island which was fantastic. We were pleasantly surprised by the clear water, colourful coral and tropical fish. It was a very cruisy trip with our own boat, lunch provided and lots of time for the girls to jump off the boat into the warm, blue water. Charlotte shocked all the people on the boats around with her swimming skills and bravery as she leapt off and swam to the side. It was amazingly cheap for a day trip, we really felt very spoilt!
