Day 16 - After having a nights sleep which included a free exfoliating leg treatment due to our trip to beach and subsequent deposit of sand in the bed, it was off to breakfast. Strategies in place it was fruit, followed by bacon, sausages and a bit of salad. Then came course 3, the omelette cooked with whatever ingredients you wanted and all washed down by 2 courses croissants, both plain and chocolate! We must point out that it was hammering down with rain at ...

Day 15 - Our second go at the amazing buffet breakfast - we both had strategies (which had been thought of for the last 23 hours) this time to make the most of it! We were changing rooms today so just after breakfast we got a call from reception to say our second room was ready already so we were able to move across straight away.

Day 14 - Up at 06:30 as usual for some reason. Finally managed to get out of the (deluxe!!) room to go for breakfast and oh my god, what a breakfast.

I think you could spent 5 days constantly eating and you wouldn't get through it all (I'm sure one of us would have a damn good...

The village has a good example of a rong which is a communal house - like a villag...

Day 12 - Another broken nights sleep as up at 05:30 to 'hopefully' catch a bus in to Vietnam. Apparently the buses have a reputation of just not turning up. When we got downstairs, the minibus was waiting for us! Another English couple emerged from the hotel followed by a couple of German fellas. They were all off on an all day journey to Danang whereas we were off to Kon Tom. The English couple jumped in the front which was fine by us as we HAD loads of space in...
