We woke early, In the knowledge it was going to be a busy day. The first problem was sam was unable to find his watch, he was sure he put it at the bottom of his bed, so we searched the room. We decided to go back to the bar we were at the night before to look, and also stopped for breakfast there.
With no success sam went to the police station to try and report it for an insurance claim. However the police said they need evidence it was stolen, or a Vietnamese person that witnessed it. No help.
So we headed to the first fitting of the day, Sams two shirts, these turned out really well. So we agreed to pick them up later.
We went to kimmys to get our coats, they checked the fitting, but they didn't have buttons on yet so we had to come back again.
Next ishas dress fitting, where we also ordered 7 kimonos for later that day in a variety of colours. Isha arranged a later 3rd dress fitting. Then we had to go collect the shoes, also needed one more change.
We had a bit of time until the next fitting so we went to the post office to make a phone call to sams insurance.
Then had to pick up SAMs shirts and ishas shoes.
Then the insurance company told us to go to the hotel and get a written statement from them about the missing watch, so we did this.
By then we had to collect our kimonos, these turned out really well. While sorted the payment out we all sat around the table, I was looking the opposite way when the woman talking to me the other day started touching my chin! Haha apparently a bum chin is good luck in Vietnam.
We went to pick up the stuff from kimmys which also provides shipping home, however this was almost 125 dollars by air! And sea shipping was a 3 month wait.. So we chose to carry it. Sam made a quick trip to a shop to buy a suitcase for Hand luggage as he had a lot of stuff.
After a quick pack, we left for the airport, the hotel arranged a car for us for 15 dollars. the airport was quite far away in da nang.
We arrived and checked in, the airport was tiny and we hadn't had dinner as we didn't have time. So we were forced to eat the little rubbish food they had.
The two Scottish girls also arrived, they happened to be on a flight at the same time as ours to Ho chi minh, but a different one to ours, odd.
We boarded and had a Trouble free journey, it was just an hour or so.
We landed, collected our bags, and went outside to find the hostel which was supposed to have sent a taxi for us did not.
We waiting a few mins for our friends to land, and shared a taxi into the city with them.
We checked into our first dorm room, we all got lockers and it seemed very clean and nice. I was starving so went out for food, luckily as it's a big city there were still a few places open. Had a weird pork and rice thing, not great.
Then to bed. The most comfortable beds yet, I didnt want to wake up.
