Jo and Hayley's SEA tour

Still in Quy Nhon

VIETNAM | Friday, 27 August 2010 | Views [441] | Comments [1]

Hi! We are still in Quy Nhon and planning to move on in the next couple of days. Didn't do too much yesterday, as unfortunately was very sunny, today a little overcast so much more pleasant. Swam in the pool yesterday then walked about 5kms to dinner then walked home again. Went to a little seafood restaurant but the menu was hard to decipher, with a lot of sea snail things.... so Hayley had fried rice with egg and I had fried rice with crab, was tasty. Then we popped next door to the Kiwi cafe for an apple ,pear and ginger juice and a piece of carrot cake. There is a good paved path for 5kms along the beachfront (although nothing in Vietnam is of an even surface) and all the locals (hundreds) sit along the path in little make-shift cafe's. It is popular to drink fresh coconut juice and sugar cane juice. They have machines like washing machine mangles which they squeeze out the juice of the sugar cane sticks/stems with. They run extension cords for huge distances to run the machines and blenders. On our walks we say hello probably over a hundred times, the locals are curious, shy and friendly so adds to the experience. Love to all!

Hi kids,,,,Thank you for the phone call yesterday.Was wonderful to hear you,,your mum had just walked through the door when you rang,and it was a lovely surprise for her.Her team won the tournament,so your call was the icing on the cake for her.
The toad-in-the-hole was delicious,probably one of the best we ever had.There was plenty of it,I will mail you some when you get desperate :))
Its great that you are enjoying your trip so much,going back down the coast to the little place you mentioned sounds like a good idea.
Everything is fine here,we are both well..look after yourselves..
Lottsa Love Mum n Dad xxxxxx
