This morning I took the train along the coast to Danang. The journey was really nice, with lots of lovely views of the coastline. I arrived in the city around lunchtime. My stomach hasn't been right the past couple of days so I was craving good old western shite. I found myself somewhere where I could have burger and fries! It was a nice change! I've plenty time for more Vietnamese food yet.
I spent the afternoon wandering around the city. It's a nice place, but there's not too much to see or do here, so I'm glad I'm just here for the one night. This evening I went to Skybar36, which is the tallest sky bar in Vietnam. The views were awesome, but I wasn't use to paying western prices for a cocktail so I moved swiftly on after one drink. For dinner I had a speciality dish of Danang called Mi Quàng Gà which is a noodle dish with chicken. The chicken remained untouched. It did not look or taste like chicken and was mostly bone. But the noodles and the broth was incredibly tasty!
Given I'm still not feeling 100% I laid off the booze and had an early night watching the sopranos on my iPad. I think I might cry as I'm down to my last episode. Wish I'd loaded more onto it. Not sure how I'll cope over the next 4 weeks without it.
Tomorrow morning I'm going to Hoi An and I'm really excited! If you were to ask me at the start of my trip where I was most looking forward to, this would be it. I hope I'm not disappointed!
