As it was another blazing hot day, we decided to chill out in the hotel for the most part of the day.
However, we did need to go and sort out our ticket for our bus to Hanoi that we had bought it Hoi-An. Once we got to the office we were dealt with by a very unhelpful lady. We had been told in Hoi-An that we could be picked up from our hotel - the lady said no, thats not what happened, we had to come to the office and get the bus from here. After arguing with her for a while, we said that we would like our money back. She told us, no, non-refundable ticket - even thought written on our ticket was refundable minus a 10% admin fee. We asked to speak with the manager, who was incredibly rude to us and he shouted at us telling us if we wanted our money back we would have to go back to Hoi-An! In the end we gave up as we weren't getting any where with these people. We got our tickets and set off back to the hotel.
We decided to get a couple of cyclos back to the hotel as that was the way to travel around in Vietnam. We had asked at the hotel how much the cyclo should cost us and they had told us 15,000 Dong. So when we asked the cyclo guys how much to our hotel - we were very shocked when he said 50,000 each! We then said 20,000 max. After a while of bartering we agreed to 15,000 for the two. Once we got in, they then changed their minds to 15,000 for each! Both myself and Manisha were pretty annoyed by this time, so we got out of the cyclo and started walking away. One of the cyclos followed us down the road, and kept on shouting out prices to us. To get away from him, we went into a shop until he left!
Spent the rest of the day at the hotel, just relaxing and enjoying our very nice surroundings!
