28May. We went to Da lat for a few days. It was a nice enough city up in the central highlands. Cooler than most other parts. Saw one water fall which was the only one we didn't want to see but there you go that is what tours are all about. It was supposed to be private but we were with Suong from Vietnam and Massimo from Italy via Austrialia. We got to walk behind it though and we avoided the caged animals. But saw some nice sites. Saw this crazy house. It is an hotel built by this russian trained architect. It is mad. Sort of disney meets alice and wonderland and then some. All curves and nooks and crannies and eagles and animals with a giant spiders web in the garden etc.
Now in Nha Trang. By the sea. Going snorkeling on a boat trip tomorrow. Apparently it is a party boat trip and there is a trip to a floating bar. whey hey....In a divers bar at the mo. Trying to find talent to look at. Alex is a dive master, so he is going to find some divers in the know as we want to go to a beach party. Be rude not to.....
We are on the coctails now and listening to Jack Johnson and many other classics. Had an imported strongbow. We have been hunting or actually trying to avoid any places selling egg and chips. Haven't found a place yet but we figure it is only a matter of time. Great beach though. Job defo not happening. So maybe will become a ski rep after all...Hmm some French..... or maybe some German... ah no Austrian... St Anton Here I come.... Mega Supa Wonderbar. Learned the first 2 bits from German Micheal but Alex and I can't remember the third bit so now have to find some German to teach me it again. Tis a tough life...
Alex has just given me a new phrase. Budgie smugglers. Speedos for the uninitiated. Cracks me up. We were discussing the finer points of thongs on the over 40's german males. Also when I was in Phu Quoc I told the boys about when we were in Egypt. How we pretended to be Swedish. Well Alex and I are now slapping our thighs and talking in very unconvincing Swedish accents. Also learned a few great phrases from the Swedish gang in Phu Quoc too so will have to try those out....Perke... So rude.... But need to talk to some more swedish to remember the rest. Ah what the bloody rhum does to your memory...
