Nha Trang - rain at the beach
Today we reserved the hotel’s beach beds at the beach. Our allotted time was 11 am to 2 pm, which would have been more than enough sun on a normal day. It rained. We got partway to the beach, it started pouring. We ducked into a coffee shop along the way. You can never get tired of Vietnamese coffee, especially one that is sold as chocolate flavoured.
After it stopped raining we went back to the hotel and spent the rest of the afternoon by the pool bar, and eventually sitting on lounge chairs by the pool, reading or in Gary’s case snoring slightly.
While it was raining we looked for options for March after we leave Thailand. We are having trouble coming up with a plan. Anyone reading this with a good idea should email us! Our places we want to visit are throwing road blocks in the way. Coron, Philippines is restricting the weight of our checked luggage to 10 Kgs. On Philippine Airlines there is no option to pay more for extra luggage. Cebu Pacific Airlines had a non functioning website, we wonder how they stay in business! Sky Jet was too expensive. The search continues when we have spare time and good internet connections.
We went for supper at Tuans Vietnamese Restaurant and it was busy tonight! The serving size was smaller than last night, so we managed to clean our plates off. We spent $12 on beer and food. Amazing! Once again, as usual, Russians were out in full force for supper. We met a Russian in the elevator and Gary asked him where he lived. Yakutsk! It was colder there than Saskatoon by only 4 degrees. Yakutsk is in Siberia and there are direct flights to Nha Trang. We don’t feel so large with all the Russians around town, they are typically well fed and tall like we are. In other words, we fit in well with the Russians. We just cant communicate too well!
