Vietnam, May 29, Nha Trang

Nha Trang, on the beach
Sunday, May 29

The bakery--ahh.  Breakfast of coconut bitty-cake and mixed fruit filled bitty-cakes; with 5 extras and a bag of chocolate butter cookies for later, $3 USD.  Our hotel wanted $14 USD !!! for breakfast.

Cuttlefish prep.  We see it later at dinnertime, sizzling on street habachies

Our hunt for an umbrella pays off; we bargain hard

Veggies at the market

Dodging motorbikes

Market; lots of women wear that cone-shaped hat

Market a-pied.  Earlier, I bought 2 books from a bicycle book vendor.

It's the bakery

Old and new housing abounds; very dense just off the beach road

Our hotel on the beach road; 7th floor room with ocean view was a free upgrade (low season generosity).  Umbrella for sun and rain.  Yes, it's hot here.

Lunch #1 while we read Ryan's poems and chapter using the cafe's free wifi.

Map of close-in Nha Trang (I see it's upside down)

Lunch #2, also dinner.  More tofu for me

The coffee store, just down the street from the laundry.  After walking around for hours today, we finally found the much-needed laundry outlet.  We note the location on our map, and return later to drop off our dirty duds.  Our load of laundry cost: $1.50; ready in 24 hrs.  That vs. hotel laundry service: $20.
