Just back from meeting Tuan, of the Easy Riders group. Real sound guy, laidback, nice and chatty. Bar was playing Dave Fanning's top 50, including Whipping Boy's 'We don't need nobody else'. Tuan recommended we do a five day trip to Hoi An, which means we bypass Na Trang, which has been the prevailing advice from other travellers. Wanted to go canyoning tomorrow on Stefan's recommendation, but no tours are running - I'm the only person in town who wants to do it. sigh.
Good night last night. Dinner at the barbecue place again, had some delicious barracuda. Cards and drinks at Joe's, Brigitte gently interrogated me about Jeany. A reasonable discussion ensued.
Second (?) night in Mui Ne, we narrowly avoided being hit by a falling coconut. I know there's statistics about the amount of deaths every year, but the sound it made on hitting the ground was shocking!
Travelled to Dalat by bus. Minibus arrived outside the hostel, said goodbye to Brigitte, and hopped on. Jammed onto a stool in the aisle, desperately hoping this was a shuttle bus. Five hours later, got off the bus with a sore arse.
Heard account of eating snake. First, the head is cut off with a scissors, and the blood drained into a flass. Then one eats the still-beating heart, and the rest is cooked.
