Vietnam 2017

Day 14

Today I ate a chicken noodlesoup in a Restaurant next to my hotel, as you can see the noodles are a bit different than the ones they used in Hanoi, the soup itself tasted a little bit different, a little fresher I think.

Next I went to the Cham Museum in the city. It’s a small museum about many statues they found buried in the ground. For 30k VND ( ~1,20$) it’s nice to see them, not really a must, but if you have 15-30 minutes time go ahead and check it out.

Almost the rest of the day I wandered around the city with no real destination and looked at all the small market stands. I went for a break in the Wind Café which was very calm and nice. I then walked to the river that divides the city and watched it at the nighttime, it’s really beautiful with all the light mirroring in the water and at the street lights there are small speakers which play calm music, which gives it a even nicer and relaxing touch.


I finished the day with some fried noodles at the same place I had breakfast. Those noodles were also different, they were almost transparent and had a little different texture than the white ones, a tiny bit more chewie, but anyways very tasty! 😋

Day 13

Beachtime! When you’re in Da Nang you should definitely go and check out the awesome beach! It’s really clean and you just go and jump into the water! Or better said walk, it doesn’t go very deep^^ but the waves are coming towards you and some of them are really strong, so it’s quite fun to spend a few hours in the Sea. Also there are volleyball nets and frisbees you can borough from the bars at the beach. You can also get up in the sky by getting dragged by a motorboat while you have a parachute on, like you see on the picture. And jet-skis are available too.
Together with the awesome weather you can spend there a very nice day.
You can also eat something at the beach bars but I just took a little bit of money with me so I could just afford some French fries, the prices at the beach are a little bit above, but I think that’s normal.

In the evening I went this restaurant called “Lam Vien” which I can really recommend going to, the staff is very nice and the food was really good! I didn’t ate anything big though, just fried rice with salted fish and salted duck egg and for desert a flan cake with coffee topping. Both were really delicious and I think the rest of the menu is too. The restaurant was also completely full, not only with tourists but also with many natives, which is also a sign that this restaurant seems like a pretty good deal.

For Breakfast I was in a small stall near my hotel which was filled with locals. It looked like they were all working people coming there for lunch. The restaurant was a porper local restaurant where you would go up to the counter tell them what types of sides you want with your rice and they plate or pack it for you. It was super cheap and incredibly yummy! The locals all looked at me, was probably very unusual that a foreigner would come and eat there^^

Days 11&12

The ride on the sleeping bus was really nice, it’s not the comfortablest thing in the world but you can really sleep in it, I can really recommend it. Especially for the price of 25$. You could also fly, if you’re lucky for about 35$, but because you drive in the night you don’t real waste your time on the bus.

When I arrived I went to the hotel I booked a day earlier, it’s a little outside, by foot you would have to walk about an hour to the city centre but because of that it’s pretty cheap, I’m spending about 13$ for three nights. It’s called “V Wander”. The owners are really nice and help you I you have any questions. You can also take a bicycle for free and the rooms are also very clean.
As you can see I ate a last time the noodlesoup with the marinated pork in Hanoi, because it tastes awesome *-* I also drank a lychee iced tea which was really good.

The other noodles you can see are from a restaurant next to my hotel. You can already see the difference between northern food and the food here, the noodles are different and also the greens on the side are others. It tasted anyway very good although it was pretty oily.

For lunch I had some shrimps and frog which I had to grill myself. They were really tasty and grilling by yourself is also fun. I forgot how the place was called but I’ll look it up and edit it. I can really recommend it, it has a big variety of foods you can try and they looked all very good on the menu.

After that I asked the owner where a good café is and he told me about the “Cong Caphe” which was really nice. The service was good and the Vietnamese green tea I drank too.

On the last picture you can see the river in Da Nang at night which looks pretty nice with all the reflecting lights in it 🙂
As far as I noticed on the first night now, there’s a little nightlife going on in Da Nang, but I didn’t find really big party locations or touristic bars, maybe I’ll find them the next days.

Day 9

After a week back home I finally flew back to Hanoi. The flight was very good and this time i really had no problems with my visa or anything. The food was pretty good this time and besides that, nothing eventful happened during my travel back to Vietnam.

Because the other hostel I stayed was full I had to look for a free one. My travel guide had also a list with good hostels in Hanoi in it so I started to go to them and ask if they have anything free. I’m now at the May De Ville Hotel in a six-bed dorm with 4 other peoples. The price is very good, 6$ a night and the rooms are really clean, I think they get cleaned daily. The bathroom is as you can see in your room but besides the unfortunate acoustics and the fact that the walls are made of glass it’s alright, it’s also pretty clean and everything works.

At the evening I got the best fried squids I ever had and went after that to two bars I promised I would come around when I’m back in Hanoi, it was a pretty nice first day back here and the night went way longer than expected^^
