I miss breafast after our late night out. I meet Emma at the beach and we have some chicken noodle soup at the restaurant just to get out of the heat. After a quick dip I doze off listening to music. I awaken to a full beach of Vietnamese. I watch a bride throwing a bouquet to her friends. Emma spots a family getting a photo taken and jumps up to and to take a photo too. The family are delighted and we sit and chat with a few of them(LT). We drink ...

A little fuzzy headed today, I catch breakfast just in time, strong coffee and a large plate of exotic fruits my choice. A cheeky little danish to finish. I book my flight to Saigon finally and meet Emma at the beach. The heat is blistering and we grab an early lunch with our cheery host meow. I try prawns cooked in beer but just seems like large prawns to me. Emma gets her regular dish, each day the plate getting larger, loyalty and friendliness pay...

Another hearty breakfast and stick again to the fruit but never refuse a danish. Arrange to meet Emma at the beach but I need to look into flights and get notes up to date.

I go for a grilled pork dish whilst Emma goes for her usual Papaya salad. If I was more into seafood ...

They test a yogurt on me.I meet Emma and we hire mopeds from the rental shop next to my place. Only 100000 dong (£3). Pick up a few litres of petrol at the end of the road for just over a quid. The better beach is called An Bang and around 6km away. According to...

I get up, amused at my room. There are 3 beds in it and until I slept in one, each having fluffy toys on them, towels shaped like swans, a cupboard with dressing gowns, a dressing table with a hairdryer. Oddly it was one of my choices when checking Emma's guidebook and Thinh by chance has brought me to one of the better priced guesthouses. I head up to the top floor for breakfast at the Hoang Trinh hotel. A nice view from the top floor overlooking a ...
