Day 225 – The lady and Dragon of Da Nang
A slow start today: Daisy naps while Dave works as he’s been awake for a while with noisy children playing in the pool as it’s still the national holiday ???? At about 11am, we’re both up and have a coffee before getting ready and heading out to Bikini Bottom Express We’re back as they had…

Day 224 – Reunification Day in the Bà Nà Hills (or as we call them: Banana Hills ????)
A pretty good sleep was had on mattresses that weren’t as hard as rocks Down for breakfast with a pretty sizeable buffet – but no passion fruits for Daisy, sadly Off out, we get a Grab taxi to Bà Nà Hills – 300k (£10) for the 40 min journey up there so a little steep…

Day 223 – Time to do Da Nang
A lovely early start to the day thanks to our fellow hotel guests… I’m sure we got a solid few hours sleep ???? Silver lining is that we definitely make it down for some breakfast with many cups of coffee, we guess – Daisy has her record of passion fruits today, at 6, and Dave…

Day 221 – Lulling about Lantern City
We skip breakfast today as we were up late last night; thankfully, the girl we’d come across scared had some people she knew in town who were able to look after her but we still didn’t get her calm properly until past 5am Our hotel is still kinda loud though so we’re up from about…

Day 220 – On the Huế to Hoi An
Bit of an early start: breakfast at the hotel is a coffee and banana pancakes whilst we wait for the bus – we are eager to escape the heat of Hue today… 46 degrees!! ???? When we’re collected, the bus continues to drive around a bit picking up people and then we are off out…

Day 219 – The heat is getting to us ????
Up this morning being better from a little more sleep; we chill in the room before gaining the courage to leave as we get hungry We go to đa:mê cafe for a couple of cappuccino and croissant combos After here, we hunt for a more substantial meal; keeping in the local area, we eventually select…

Day 218 – Is this the Huế to Amarillo (new pun for it’s correct pronunciation ????)
After a late night, we manage to sleep somewhat ok: woken up by a poor bugger throwing his guts up with what we presume was food poisoning, then about 8am the classical music ringing from downstairs and finally housekeeping having some gossip sessions by the rooms With a slow start, we chill for a bit…

Day 217 – Huế coming with me?
Finally we slept reasonably well… it’s been such a long time ???? Head down for breakfast and we spot a pet Peaceful Dove they own coo-ing away; she’s 12 years old and sadly in quite a small cage but seems happy and very friendly to humans We have some banana, some coffee and some DIY…

Day 216 – Absolutely quacking for Phong Nha
Unfortunately, it seems we got something bad from something we ate last night: not much sleep and feeling pretty sorry for ourselves We skip breakfast and try and rest a bit longer; at around 11am, after chilling in bed with some Good Burger on Netflix, we get up and go to a safe choice for…
