This morning, for some mysterious reason, Dan woke me up at 5.00 am. He wanted to go walk on the beach. I happily obliged and in my pyjamas set off for a very early beach walk. We walked for over an hour and it was amazing. The village was waking up, local Vietnamese middle-aged woman were exercising on the beach and a few fishermen were already at work. We took beautiful pictures. Today we’re staying here, we eat seafood, get tanned on the beach and relax. Tomorrow morning we’re starting our longest journey : Long Hai to Mui Ne, on the east coast.Ce matin, ce taré de Dan m’a réveillée a 5h00 du mat, pris d’une envie folle d’aller marcher sur la plage. J’y suis allée de bon gré, en pyj. La plage est juste devant l’hôtel (notre hôtel est une académie militaire, ou les chambres sont en fait les quartiers des soldats) On a marché pendant plus d’une heure, le village se réveillait, les grand-mères faisaient leur gym sur la plage et des pécheurs étaient déjà a l’œuvre. On a pris de jolies photos.
Aujourd’hui on reste ici, on bronze et on lit. Ce village est si calme et les gens si gentils que je n’ai aucune envie de partir. C’est certainement mon endroit préféré au Vietnam, en tout cas jusque la.
Demain on part tôt pour notre plus grosse journée de moto : de Long Hai (ici) a Mui Ne, sur la cote Est.
I'm glad you have no qualms about "going native".:)
ReplyDeleteBTW, a tell tale sign of a Western woman who's made for herself a home in Vietnam, is the fact that she could, with such ease, casually dropped the line: "I happily obliged and in my pyjamas set off for a very early beach walk. We walked for over an hour and it was amazing". Of course, in the tropical heat and humidity of VN, the next best thing would've been to "go commando". ;)
Please delete my comment if you find it creepy in any way.
