This morning we had a relaxing start, with a late breakfast and internet time before heading to the house next door to rent bikes - a bargain at 10,000 dong for a day (about 30 pence to you and me!).
We had heard that there was a nice beach 5kms out of town, so we decided to head there for an afternoon of sun, sea and relaxing. The 5kms ride went quickly as we were soon out of town and cycling along country roads, next to lush rice paddy fields where the locals were hard at work.On arrival at the beach we found a shaded spot (as both of us were still nursing bad sun burn from Nha Trang - Nicola more so than Ben), and settled down for a couple of hours. It was a beautiful spot, with clear white sands stretching as far as the eye could see, palm trees swinging with the breeze and clear waters breaking on the beach.
After a couple of peaceful hours we picked up the bikes and started the cycle back to town, stopping halfway at a river side bar for a coke and rest.
On arrival back at the hotel we dropped the bikes off and freshened up before heading back to our favourite night spot (the local street stalls) for Cao Lau, White rose and crispy wontons - yum!
