we decided to stay 1 more day coz it was so nice and we started the day ,with Phoung picking us up to go to have breakfast ..the speciality of Quin Nhon " Bun Gae" a soup noodles with deep fried fish balls and fish cakes in a fish consomme with Vietnamese herbs..this is again the local Vietnamese style restaurant where you sit on low plastic stools and small plastic table by the side of the road.
After breakfast Linh the eldest sister of Phoung decided she wanted to cook us lunch,we then all went to the supermarket to buy the food to cook..then we all went back to Linh 's house which is also a Vietnamese "Boutique" which sells clothes for ladies.At Lunch Linh brought out her precious collection of black label whisky and champagne and we were forced to have a nip of whisky neat,as a result of that the next day cycling schedule was thrown out of the window but actually the fact is the family did not want us to cycle the stretch of road between Quin Nhon and Tuy Hoa because since Phoung came back from america to Quin Nhon he had heard of 6 fatal accident on this stretch of road
Guess what after Lunch??? coffee time again..this habit seems to be the pastimes of all Vietnamese young and old...rain came while we were having coffee and we stat till evening .we then went back to the hotel for a rest and shower before having dinner next door at the seafood restaurant, that we ordered crocodile in curry and spices,steam pipis,grilled scallops crab meat fried rice which was full of crab meat pieces...there was a mobile karaoke across the road with singers coming into the restaurant to ask patrons to make request but the only request we wanted to make was that he goes away as the music was too loud and they were singing out of tune
