days 82 and 83 - Down time in Quy Nhon

Wednesday, 15 January 2014

We've spent the past two days here in Quy Nhon at the Avani Resort sampling some yoga, enjoying a massage, over eating at the breakfast buffet and admiring the beautiful ocean that is thrashing away just beyond our balcony. We intended to only stay for two nights but decided this morning to extend our visit by one more day as we are not in a rush and it's just such a lovely place to relax and recharge.

While the weather was warm yesterday, the strong winds made sitting outside a bit hazardous! So we were extra happy we had made the decision to stay longer when the sun came out today and the wind died down. We turned off our phone and the laptop and spent the best part of the day by the pool reading the books that had been left neglected in our bags.

Tomorrow we will resume our lycra clad adventures and cycle to a town called Tuy Hoa. We will then spend the next 15 days making our way to Ho Chi Minh City, stopping in Nha Trang, Da Lat and Mui Ne along the way.
