VIETNAM | Saturday, 18 June 2016 | Views [270]

Kevin went riding with Andrew and Michael to Fusion Mia and they had their best time ever at an average speed of 30.3 km/h. Kevin also had his personal best time for the ride. I organised Kevin’s Visa Approval letter and also transferred some money via Western Union to his bank account here in VN. Kevin went to the Bank to pick up his ATM card but it wasn't ready. He has to wait another week. We went to Almanity and Kevin did a brief workout in the gym while I just went to the pool. I needed to move inside the Hotel to find a power point as my iPad battery is draining very quickly. I wanted to prep further for Tri’s lessons and needed to write out the songs we were using. While I was inside the GM Mr Tony came through and I got talking to him. Mentioned that we were at the Buffett luncheon last Sunday and that our group as a whole were disappointed. I didn't even realise it was advertised as a roast day. He took my feedback on board and so I also mentioned that yesterday I had to wait 45min for my baguette and that I asked about it 3 times. He was concerned about this and will raise with staff. We stayed for lunch again and swam and just relaxed by the pool. I managed to update the blog which I hadn't uploaded for 10 days due to my busy exam and study schedule. Kevin left as he needed to pick up his bamboo bike from Tan.  I left Almanity at 3pm just as Claire, Jerry and  Jane turned up ready for the bowls ladies happy hour.  During Tri’s lesson thunder nod lightening started and so I finished the lesson quickly. Vang told me that she couldn't have us to dinner this week as she is busy at Betel with VAT tax audit. I rushed home and had a quick shower and headed back down Kiet St to an Apple repair shop to see how much it would be for replacement batteries for my iPad. Quoted VND 700k and so I said I would bring it back later. I then made it to the happy hour at Almanity where the bowls girls were and managed 2 red wines before heading to the sausage sizzle at bowls. Not all the girls made it to bowls as they had a bit of a session.
