Ged was feeling very poorly this morning – had ginger tea only while Daisy ate just a light breakfast.
Some comedy moments on pick up as Cuong (guide) and Hien (driver) go past us as we walk up to reception, but somehow they, the luggage and we all end up in the right place and off we go.
We stopped to photograph a vista [see headline picture] before going up high passes in unbelievably heavy rain – like a pea soup.
As we came down the rain is less intense and even stopped for us to visit a village in Khanh Vinh district…
…[populated by] the Raglai minority people…
…where we took a photo opportunity with Price of Fish…
…then on to Nha Trang where we drove past the cathedral, looked at the Po Nagar Cham Towers and saw the Long Sun pagoda from afar
Then went to Ninh Van Bay pick up place and got speedboated across to our resort…
…where manager Gary and our butler Ân greet us. Ân shows us to our villa & then shows us several alternatives as ours is quite dingy. Will look at a couple more tomorrow.
Then we unpacked a little & took early dinner, comprising a seafood pancake Banh Xeo, soft shell crab with mango salad and Hanoi duck breast salad (reminiscent of our first night in Hanoi all those years ago) followed by Mekong Tiger Prawn (skewers). Also tried the home-made ice cream (highlight!)
Meal quite good. Slept well.
