Jo and Hayley's SEA tour

Hi! We enjoyed our last couple of nights in Quy Nhon, walked every night along the beachfront and dined at the Kiwi cafe. There was a big storm before we left, with amazing lightening, so after dinner sat on our balcony and watched the sky. Apparently there was a typhoon further up the coast which was attributed to this, and the tide was noticeably higher. We caught a bus from Quy Nhon to Tuy Hoa, for $3 each, which was a bargain for one of the prettiest drives. Our bus driver wasn't particularly suicidal, so no heart stopping moments, unusual given some of our previous bus trips. ( we prefer to take the trains generally). The trip took just under 2hrs and the road followed the coast, providing beautiful scenery. The area is really green, lots of coconut palms and bougainvilleas. We arrived at the Vietstar around lunch time, and quickly settled into our spacious room. Very large bathroom, with the shower section outdoor, and a very large bath, which Hayley soaked in for a good hour with her book. We are on a hill about 7kms out of town, and this place covers considerable area. The views are pretty spectacular with the beach in the background. The food so far has been ordinary, and our pineapple juice and vodka's were suspiciously absent of vodka. Will monitor this situation. The pool is very good, so will swim daily. Hayley brought a heap of CD's in Nha Trang and was eager to try them out, so we asked to borrow a CD player. The maintenance crew arrived in the afternoon and installed a stereo, which was far more than we were expecting, and a nice surprise! Love to all! xxx
