Angella Hotel Nha Trang

... information from abroad. Stay tuned.

It is now 3:30 pm and after a nap, Pierre's blood pressure has decreased to an acceptable level so we're heading to the beach for a bit of relaxation. And bia... yes sir! Ladies and gents, my tummy has settled down happily and finally, so i can now enjoy a bit of booze, much to my mother's chagrin.

PS: no pics today since there's only 1 PC in the lobby, will upload beach pics later on.

... 4 nights straight! It was chaos, but everyone always sucked it up and made it out for the whole experience. I know this isn't the most cultural thing in the world, but nonetheless it was fun and a break from seeing tombs and pagodas.
During the days in Hoi An, I spent much of them sleeping, either in the air conditioned room or the beach. I did manage however to get a tailor made ...

As I'm a very suspicious person I wholeheartedly agreed to lunch. (I had nothing to do so thought if i bring no money what can go wrong?)

1. Be held ransom.
2. Be frogmarched to the bank.
3. Lose my kidneys.

Damn my curiosity.

It transpired with me eating lunch with three burly 60 year old Filipino men. Not something high on my list of priorities but the fish they gave me can only be described as ...

... all'aperto seduti su tavolini bassi bassi e seggiole tipo asilo dove il menu' era scritto solo in lingua vietnamita. Senza troppe storie Marco si e' diretto verso la cucina ed ha ordinato direttamente facendo vedere quello che voleva mangiare. Ci siamo trovati benissimo, i piatti erano favolosi e i camerieri molto gentili.

... can go there for breakfast and dinner. Twice a day equals good food. I was coerced into getting a chill hamburger. How… I have no idea, but I ate it... well most of it. It was stinking HOT. My face turned bright red but I sucked it up and ate. We made plans for the following day to have a packed day with lots of fun adventures.

The next day we started off by renting motorbikes for 60,000 dong which is around $3.50 USD for the day. Pip and Charlie road ...

... lay out on and we were on the bottom so we had a table to play cards on. They only bad thing about the train is the time, it left at 2pm and took 9 hours, so daytime traveling. There is no announcer to know when we arrive at our destination, not that it would've been in English anyway, but the coach attendant opens your cabin and starts folding the blanket, that's the hint.

So we made it late into ...

... ended up paying him about 25 quid. Also he lost the rest of his money and was sure that the moto driver had stolen it.

Needless to say we spent that night chilling the hell out. Got some food. Some big bottles of water, and hit the TV for some ***** films on HBO. The following day we got another night bus - sleeping this time, as we'd learnt our painful lesson - that was going all the way to HCMC. Our final stop before heading home.

Before we ...

... We dove for about 45 minutes, drawing in the dry tank air and skimming the coral before inflating our vests and surfacing. We motored to the second dive site and dove again, this time skimming along the edge of the drop-off and staying fairly shallow. For our first SCUBA experience, it was really fun and not terribly expensive at less than USD 100 for a day's worth of diving with instructors to shepherd us around. After the dive, we headed back to ...

... through part of their village. We walked across this long suspension bridge which was a little bit sketchy but it was worth it because we came across two beautiful little girls. Uncle Burt was playing with them and the three of them were laughing and giggling. The children in this country are just gorgeous. When we got to Nha Trang we had lunchs at Andy's Chopsticks where I ate grilled squid with chili and lime. It was good ...

... was absurd. Eventually I grabbed the clippers (politely) and started shaving my OWN head!

They just laughed, that's probably never happened before I guess. To cut a long story short(er) Katie ended up finishing off the back & sides, and it was a job well done for the princely ...
