Adventures with Richie
We awoke to another beautiful sunny day in De Nang! Yay!!!!! Breakfast was once again mediocre (mostly due to the coffee being cold) but they did do a nice job with my omelette today.
How fun is that😉?
Richie, Vanna and Alice got in at 1am so we aren’t expecting them at breakfast too early. But they do come down around 8:45. Alice still sleeping, so they are taking turns. So good to see our old friends. The plan after eating is to take a walk down to the beach as they’ve not been here before and want to poke around. We took a nice walk and and then since our van was coming at 11 am to take us to Hoi An, we thought we best get back, pack up and check out. We had dropped off two pairs of troys shirts and two shirts to hotel laundry. That was returned nicely and cost 60,000 dong ($3usd). We had to do laundry twice in Vietnam at the hotel bcz I have yet to see street laundry here like in every other country we’ve been to. $3 was not too bad by hotel standards, but anywhere else I could have gotten 3 kilos done for that instead of 4 items 🙄 Note to self-bring more tide packets next time I come to Vietnam.
The shuttle ride was about 40 minutes and then voila we are in Hoi An. I already think I love it here. It’s the neatest little “world heritage site” town, with a very old history. There are tonnes of great shops and I know I’ll have fun doing my shopping here. Saved most of my shopping for last stop because of having to pay money for bags on these short haul Asian flights, and somehow we seem to be flying here a lot more this year than usual. I’ve already prebooked a second bag for our last flight to Bangkok, so I’m prepared! The hotel is awesome. Gorgeous pool and in a great part of town…..couldn’t be a better way to spend my last 3 nights of vacation.
