The days in the glorious sun have come to a sad end, and tomorrow we head off back to HCMC and then on to Cambodia ... we should be there by Saturday I would think. Until we get there we wont really know what the internet connectivity is like but for all it's worth ... Vietnam's is faster than NZ's ...
It amazes me the low number of tourists in this town ... none of the local tour companies have Quy Nhon on the radar at all, and I would have to say that if you want beautiful quiet beaches without hassels with hawkers ... this is definately the place to come. When you see the photos you will see what I mean.
We hired another bike today and rode of around the coast a little bit ... we found a small rocky beach with hammocks and shade ... and they served coffee! They provided a mat to sit on (in addition to the hammocks) and the place was really quite flash ... we prepared ourselves to pay for the privilege of sitting so close to the beach and having the extra service, but ended up being charged only for the coffee ... a whole NZD$1.60 for 2. Not bad really.
A bit further up the coast, we managed to find a long sandy beach that had noone else on it. We swam and dried off, and were approached by a local guy who just wanted to say hi. The locals here are really friendly ... just as well too because we dont understand any of the road signs and we found a couple of dead-ends ... for all we know, we were driving through their front yards.
I'll try to get the photos up late tomorrow
