Much frustration this morning – the desk clerk indicated we had paid and then, 20 minutes before the taxi was coming, said we hadn’t paid and he needed cash (that we didn’t have in Dong). Dirk walked quite far and was back just as the taxi pulled up! We made it to the bus just in time.
But before that we ran into a couple from Denmark that we had chatted with for a while at the Crazy House – it turns out they were staying at our same noisy hotel!
The bus I booked two Mui Ne happened to be a sleeping bus – which I thought would have a way to fold into regular seats – wrong!. We laid down for 3 1/2 hour on the ride up and mountains with many hairpin curves- fortunately I didn’t get car sick but someone further back did!
We transferred to a van and finally arrived at our hotel in Mui Ne, very different that Dalat, with grounds and a pool but most wonderful, a gorgeous beach and ocean. On the other hand, this area is known for wind surfing, the ocean is rough, so I probably will be just getting my feet wet here. That’s OK!
We walked quite a while on the beach and when we saw a couple we had talked with on today’s travels. We joined them and their one year old on the sand, and later for dinner. Andy and Kiki have been here before and know the best, least expensive eatery – great dinner and quite fun. A great day after all!
