Ok before I recap day 3, ill just write a bit about dinner last night. "Into the Thai" was the name of restaurant but it was more like "Into the Fire" in my mouth! I learnt very quickly that "not too spicy" for the locals, is SUPER HOT!! Bec enjoyed the show as I sweated it up big time and cried over my dinner.
Relaxation... we successfully did nothing. Woke up to another day of paradise with my amazing wife - god I love calling her that. We started the day with our traditional coffee in our pool, while deciding what to do first. Finally made our way to breakfast and took the locals advice and fell into "slow life".
For breakfast this morning our favourites were homemade chicken sausages, fresh guava and mango juice, waffles with golden syrup and raspberry jam, and cinnimon french toast.
Bec finally agreed with me that it was actually bees flying around the fruit and not flies, and received a comedy show of me trying to get fruit whilst avoiding getting stung - funny stuff she tells me!
After breakfast we heading to the Infinity Pool which looks out over the ocean to clear blue water. We pretty much spent the day there reading in the pool, then on our sun beds while sipping cocktails. As time didnt exist it meant lunch was when we felt hungry, so by 3 pm it was time for lunch. This time my mouth had an easy time as we asked for mild chicken curry, and stir fried beef and basil WITHOUT chilli! So we managed to appreciate the food.
All thats left now is to finish the cocktail, maybe have another = total relaxation.
We head to Hanoi tomorrow and then its off to Halong Bay to sleep on a junk boat for 2 nights. Sailing amongst the lime stone peaks that are scattered throughout the bay.
Will get some photos up soon
