It was still raining when we got up this morning so we decided that, rather than wasting money on trips that might not go ahead, we'd entertain ourselves. We had some breakfast and then took a walk across town to the Dam Market. The market was huge and absolutely packed! We spent a couple of hours walking around had a great time bartering with the locals. Mum and Nikki had fun trying to buy some material for clothes - the woman drove a really hard bargain, but in the end we still walked away paying loads less than at home.When we left the market this afternoon the sun was shining, so we came back to the hotel and then went for some lunch. Afterwards we all went down to the beach and played frisbee. Nikki tried to join in but she seems to be coming down with a cold, so she just sat and cheered us on. Mum and Keith were pretty good at frisbee, although at one point Mum did disappear down a hole as she was running to catch it and ended up in a heap on the floor.
As it was the olds last night, after chilling out in their room, we all got ready and went out for a meal. We let them choose and the decided on a little Italian place (that also sold Vietnamese food). When it came to order Nikki and Keith ordered pasta dishes, I had a Vietnamese dish and then we sat and waited for Mum to order her pizza... but she didn't - she shocked us all when she went for one of the local dishes - ordering a mixed fried rice! Everyone loved their meals, especially Mum and it was a great way to end the day and their holiday!
9 days! What sort of holiday is that?
