Mike in the sleeper bus
You mean I sleep in this all night! Well after waiting for an hour later than expected the bus sleeper bus arrives. Mike the girls and lads did not expect it to have 3 sets of sleeper beds each row - look of surprise on each of their faces was priceless. After a few stops we get on our way and a good night sleep was had by me. Tom and Will seemed to have a bit of a problem so I do not think they will be booking on the booze cruise on the first day. The girls and Mike seemed to have a good night sleep once they got actually got to sleep. No way was Mike and I going on the booze cruise and we had the best night sleep.
Anyway booked into the hotel and what a hotel it is 5* and exactly as you would love especially as it was Mike's birthday - just think moved from a guest house to a 5* hotel for £58 per night. As we checked in they mentioned that Mike and I were being upgraded, bring it on! So, we get in the room and find we have our own sauna and a whirlpool on our balcony
- it cannot get better than this.
We get back to our room after being at the pool and beach and guess what there is a cake with Happy Birthday Mike (no I did not arrange it - if only I had thought of that) the hotel had seen it was his birthday on his passport, which also explains the upgrade - comments going on Tripadviser on their excellent personal service.
The girls also booked into the same hotel and are really pleased - they even have a room that leads off to the swimming pool - how fab.
We all met up and went to the Sailing Club for Mike's birthday - sounds posh but remember we are in Nha Trang which is a beach resort. They had a bikini show which Mike enjoyed (life in the old dog yet!!) and after that we went back to the hotel as the kids (Michelle, Bob, Tom & Will) decided to hit the town and go to the beach party.
Once we got back we decided that the whirlpool on the balcony would be a fitting end to Mike's birthday.
So up we get in the
Nha Trang
The girls and me in the sea! morning at around 10ish which was brilliant as it was our first lay in since leaving home in July so that was great. We also got breakfast included in our hotel OMG things have really improved. As Mike forgot to put sun cream on his legs and major sunburn had occurred we decided that we would just laze around the pool today with Mike fully covered up.
The girls especially Bob really does not feel well today and I just noticed in my Vietnam book that it warns against having buckets cocktail as they can contain bootlegged alcohol - by the sounds of it I think they had one of these drinks
The heavens have now opened up again (around 7ish tonight) so it looks like we are not going to venture out tonight but as we have such a brilliant suite it looks like room service it is and watching a film and using the whirlpool on our balcony again. What an exciting life we lead.
Hope everyone is ok.
