• Life's a Beach, Quy Nhon, Days 2 to 5

    October 9, 2017 in Vietnam ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    So the last four days have been spent doing not much at all. Apart from one day when we ventured into the surprisingly lovely town to reload our stock of toiletries and money, which involved a few local bus journeys which are always interesting, we have been laying on the beach or in a hammock getting some much needed rest.
    The hostel was great, everything we could have asked for. Hours were spent in the bar drinking the cheap beer and playing the very competitive barman at connect 4 and pool.
    On the third day I felt very achey and was worried that dengue fever had set in after getting a few mosquito bites, but it turned out to be nothing but a stomach bug.
    One of the best things about this place were the waves that crashed onto the secluded private beach. It was great fun to swim in the water and try not to be sent flying by them. Amy tried to climb into a rubber ring just as one broke and soon was sent onto her back.
    There has been no wifi at all and no distractions, and the shared bathrooms weren't bad either! All in all a great place to stay and relax for a few days. Now, with our batteries recharged, we are ready to head to Nha Trang.
