Despite ending up being rather battered, bruised and jelly fish stung, I enjoyed the 2 hour windsurfing lesson I had with an instructor called Bay. His English was rather broken but I got the gist of most of it! It was rather tiring so I had a coconut as a reward. They are huge here, full of coconut juice, yummy fruit you can spoon out and only cost 70 cents. Potentially highly addictive.
I met again with the group from the previous evening and sophie suggested we find somewhere which serves the traditional vietnamese hot pot. I thought of asking the lady at our hostel and she was so enthusiastic to tell me about her favourite hotpot restaurant and was also so sad she couldn't come with us despite being invited.
It was a fantastic recommendation and the 12 of us happy munched our way through two huge hotpots. You get a huge gas cooker on the table with a large bowl placed on it full of soup and meat. You then get presented with a box of fresh veg and rice noodles which you had to the soup and cook. It was delicious!!! We were all enjoying it so much we were the quietest group for a good 20 mins as we brewed our dinner in a cauldron like witches! The beer went down smoothly too.
The group consisted of four different nationalities and we enjoyed talking about our travel plans and experiences. Frederick from denmark is in an interesting situation because he has to travel for 4 months as a stidy requirement. I wish that was the case in the UK! Sophie and flo from germany are about to start studying in the Philippines for a semester and decided to travel a little beforehand. There are so many interesting people to meet and talk to!
