Moving on down
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008Another day another city on the horizon. Today we leave the beautiful Hoi An in favour of Nha Trang, a seaside city around 500km south. Lets all cross our fingers that the big-bed bus turns up, huh?
Lauren’s birthday was good fun, we went for a romantic meal on a roof terrace. The food was top notch, with both of us opting for a particualrly un-adventurous Goat’s cheese and spinace lasagne. Cargo’s the place was called, would recommend the food if not really the service. Three courses plus a gourde of wine and a few beers was a relatively cheap 15 quid. Not bad.
Then we moved on to a trendy bar down the way. The overall vibe of the bar, Zepplin/The Doors on the jukebox, Banksy style graffiti on the walls, ‘cool’ quotes scrawled on the toilet doors, was entirely ruined by a massive 8ft by 6ft homage to Bono. It depicted the tiny U2 goblin in a super man outfit, naturally the ‘S’ of the superman was altered to say U2 and next to him was the word the word ‘SuperBono.’ Horrendus. We did bump into Danny and his girlfriend Nat, we met Danny in Hue, though and they joined us for the rest of the evening’s drinks. It’s really good to be well away from the Ra’s of Thailand, we have yet to really see any ‘backpackers’ in their teens here in ‘Nam and instead there is generally a much more mature, cooler atmosphere.
All in all, Lauren had a great day, we are picking up her dress later and we got a sneak preview last night, it looks beautiful on her.
Plenty more thumb-twiddling is bound to ensue as we wait for our bus, which should arrive in about 4 hours, to Nha Trang.
