    • Day 7

      Onto Da Lat

      July 13, 2017 in Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Up and ready to go. We all arrive at the airport to find they have brought the flight forward by 50 mins ... We have 10mins to check in and board before takeoff. But wait there's more: we don't have tickets with check in luggage ... More time spend getting that sorted; but there is more Lawrie has his expensive penknife confiscated - check on eBay please!
      Having delayed the flight by 20mins we are all on board.
      Arrive safely bags included except of course the penknife.
      It's cooler, 24C and raining. First impressions are of green rolling hills and no traffic!
      BUT WAIT there's even more!! The hotel has no booking for us so we have to hunt around for another. All part of the rich experience .. no sweat really!
      Found hotel just to the road so no problem.
      The rain stopped and we walked around town ... Had a Chinese lunch then coffee in a really funky, retro cafe.
      Much quieter than HCMC in the hills so you walk around with Asian/Mediterranean mix of atmosphere.

    • Day 10

      Off to Hoi An

      July 16, 2017 in Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

      Up earlier with egg Banh Mi at 7am then off to the airport.
      Arrive in Da Nang warmer at 25C but raining ... 40mins or so later we arrive at Hoi An, a riverside town South of Da Nang.
      We have to wait for our rooms to be prepared so we where down the riverbank for 2mins to a lovely restaurant ... The rain eases as we head back to the hotel. Time to relax in the pool or a little shut eye before exploring further.
      To the bikes into town to find out about getting dressed made. Started to rain so wandered in the wet around the town before finding a pub to watch the tennis.
      The town is very beautiful; old with shops lit by lanterns.
