Well I am back in the land of the living - bit tentative and no appetite. Have just been on soft drink, lipton iced tea etc until tonight. Had a chicken burger with chips and I think I am back on track.
Organised some clothes with the tailor this morning - went back for fitting this evening - some are good a couple of dresses not what I thought - but they are so inexpensive it doesn't really matter.
Allan organised a motorbike today and we went down to the local beach - development is marching thru the coastal areas and I guess it won't be long before the beach is only for the wealthy.
Discovered the Ancient Town - which is really lovely. There are no cars or motorbikes allowed and they had really nice art, clothing souvenirs etc and a thousand restaurants.
Sorry girls the leather is crap here - jackets would look pretty dodgy - more like vinyl really. This is a silk/satin place. We have been looking but not the right area for leather.
Booked our flight to Phu Quoc Island today - we are bypassing Nha Trang as we couldn't get a flight there for a few days. I couldn't stand spending 12 hrs on the bus (vietnamese time), so we decided to go to this island as we have heard it is quite untouched by commercialism. Wish us luck! Allan spent ages getting accommodation - booked flights but then discovered accommodation was a bit scarce - never mind - all sorted. God only knows what it will be like. Stay tuned!
