Day 13 - Phong Nha-Ke Bang

We enjoy a lie in after our jungle adventures, so wake up late for chocolate pancake and iced coffee breakfast!

With a rented moped (Dad and Dylan) and an easy rider for Jake, we head to the Botanical Gardens.

It's a good 90 minute walk - effectively through the jungle, but with a marked trail. Quite hilly, with occasional points if interest including a couple of bomb craters from the war.
It's very sweaty, but we decide not to swim in the waterfalls, but push on to our next stop.

We ride for 30 mins or so, including a section of main road (lorries and buses to look out for!) to the 'Pub with cold beer'.

Chewy chicken, swing and a nice looking pool that we didn't use. Sort of lacked atmosphere...

However the Duck Place, our next stop was great fun. We kicked off with a snack of peanut, salt, and a peppercorn.
Then to the Ducks - watch the video! And a spot of water buffalo riding for the boys.
We finish with an unecessarry pancake snack. Great value for £12 total.

Back for a swim in the pool at Dawn Homestay and then another amazing dinner with Tu Tu and other guests (from Belgium and N Zealand)Læs mere
