Da Nang

Arrived at Da Nang on a very comfortable flight, once again thanks to Vietnam Airlines. Collected our bags and went outside to find out hotel transfer.........NOT.

Stood around for about 45 minutes with no-one appearing. Contacted Mrs NHUNG from Halong Sapa tours via Skype who assured us that the driver was there looking for us.

After a lot of Skype chatting I told her that I had called the hotel and arranged for them to collect us. She told us she would reimburse me the cost.

10 minutes after the call, the driver from Grand Mecure arrived and not long after we were walking into the Hotel.

Amazing how Da Nang has changed in only 2 years. Didn't recognise the outside area around the airport.....

Upon arrival, Gayle and I took care of booking in while Graeme and Sharon went to see if the bar next to reception was still open. It was closed, but the young barman, Tuan, said he would stay open for us. What a guy.

Spent about 2 hours at the bar drinking and chatting to the barman who was fantastic. He even managed to find Coke Zero in the hotel for us.Okumaya devam et
