Quy Nhon

We arrived in Quy Nhon with high hopes of the continuation of beautiful beaches and relaxation to the max - but how disappointed we were.. We did, however, find a nice beach but we had to rent a motorbike and search for the Leper Hospital, and there we did manage to have the WHOLE beach to ourselves, minus a few rabid dogs. The other beach we found, we were greeted with a herd of Vietnamese kids trying to steal Hanna's camera and, to their great amusement, trying to drench us with sea water. The food was pretty scarce too, we walked round and round the whole town in search of anything to eat, annnnything, and with that we concluded to leave Quy Nhon the next morning and head straight for Hoi An instead... And what a treat there was in store for us there... :)

Delectable Dalat

So Dalat has been an interesting visit! Since arriving yesterday, we've explored the whole city by foot, stumbling across random roads leading up to the most colourful roads lined with buildings of every colour of the rainbow. And so many delightful foodie stalls! We wondered around Dalat Market, to try and satisfy our hungry tums; instead we settled for trying anything interesting we saw on the streets, enabling a happy Hanna to tick off her massive list of foods that she wishes to try in Vietnam. We also managed to find a vegetarian restaurant that night, where Hanna fiiiiinally got her hands on an aubergine dish! Mmmmm mmmmm.

This morning we headed south of Dalat to see the Crazy House: a weird looking building which highly resembles the works of Gaudi. It was really crazy. Loads of rooms with massive animals with glowing red eyes staring out at you. We got lost within the teeny stairways and walkways leading to even more strange looking parts of the house and climbed to the top to get some nice colourful views of the city.

It has been freezing here, and so looking forward to heading back north later today to another beachy town, Quy Nhon, where we're planning on soaking up more sun and sea. So bye bye for now!

Magical Mui Ne

Oh, Mui Ne. How our hearts ache to be back in Mui Ne. It was the perfect place to be with its quiet beaches and very few hawkers disturbing us trying to sell fruit and other random shit. We saw many surfers because it was super windy and if it would rain, we would take stock in one of the nearby beachy bars and read whilst listening to the onshore waves, before heading back on to the beach when the sun came back out. Because its location is pretty isolated, this is all we did within the two days we were here. So, so relaxing.

In the evenings we hunted down seafoody places to eat right by the beach. We would sit there for hours and hours just staring out into the vast openness and getting lost in our thoughts, unable to tear our eyes away from the views. It was an incredibly tranquil and charming wee place, and we wished we stayed longer. I know we'll be back again to visit, so you'd better hurry and book your ticket here too, it is definitely not worth missing!
