Paradise or Hell???
Last night here in Quy Nhon and I will be truly fucking happy to escape this place which promised so much, but has delivered so very little. This is always a potential problem when traveling without much of a plan other than a general direction of North, and picking up ideas of where to head next from others we meet en route…Sometimes real gems in the rough can be uncovered, but equally possible is to travel hard and horrible, toil and suffer on wooden benches squeezed between boxes and monkey faced natives hellbent on cuddling up to you to make use of the meat on your bones as cushions for their skeletal physiques, then finding the secret, secluded beach actually riddled with shark problems and filth….to cap it off, communication has been near to impossible, resulting in a 2km walk for any edible food I can be close to sure isn’t dog, croc or snail. Tomorrow we leave, but have the receptionists understood the incredible importance of my request in google translated vietnamese for a taxi at 8am to the train station 10km away. Taxi>Train>Taxi and then…hopefully we reach the sanctuary of hoi an, a beautiful double bedroom and western toilet next to a patio and swimming pool all set in the middle of a botanical garden, with free bicycles to use and a lavish breakfast served daily…Its (hopefully) worth the suffering of these last 72 hours for the paradise that awaits us in Hoi An…
