After an energetic day Friday, Saturday we were back in ‘relax’ mode. Had a walk along the foreshore, a swim and a look at the local food market. And eating and drinking. Out and about in Nha Trang it seems a dominant trading name here is Sanest – Sanest Tourist, Sanest Restaurant, and various Sanest products. I do want to buy something to have on hand when the next attack of the crazies strikes (mine, or other people’s).
When we went out for our evening meal there were red flags flying everywhere in anticipation of holiday festivities. The holiday also meant that spontaneous flight purchasing was limited to early morning business class. Had to awaken at 5am (cranky – ****, yes) but it is a lovely time of the day to leave Nha Trang. By 6am there were people out exercising everywhere, along the foreshore and in the streets – walking/taichi/badminton.
And I can report that Vietnam Airlines business class was very spacious and we got refreshments even though the flight was only 40 minutes. The best bits were that we didn’t have to be so careful about packing our bags (more weight allowed), there was a separate bus for when we got off the plane, and our luggage appeared quickly.
Now back in District 3. We want to stay longer so we’re looking at other accommodation options. M is making me laugh by reading some of the marketing blurbs on rental websites – one apartment advertised is ‘near a canal, you can get fresh air. Near the zoo.’
For dinner this evening, home cooking (yay!) - an omlette made by M's fair hand.
