Good morning Vietnam.. a 'typical' day..

Enjoy a Vietnamese coffee - with our without the ice and condense milk, it's just perfect way to start the day!

a stroll into town,.. past the artist shop, maybe another coffee with him? and while we're there, lets stay for lunch.. today its green mango salad with beef.. mmm!

we could venture back to our Hotel, and laze around the beach, or the pool, or watch the boy with his buffalo clean up the beach?

we could visit a spa for a stunning treatment?

think the sun  has convinced me its time to relax! and enjoy this special spot!

staying at Hotels like this sure does makes me realize just how blessed I am!
