Danang Day 5 - A beautiful day at the beach

 Breakfast!

Love the japanese miso soup here because i can add soft silky tofu, seaweed and prawns as much as I like. Plus their vietnamese coffee here is really solid.

 hubs is constantly on the phone or whatsapping on a holiday.

Here at Melia Danang Resorts, all guests has a conical vietnamese hat in their wardrobe. So I let James play with it.

Off we went to the beach after our breakfast. The waters here are super clear and the waves are quite gentle. The boys had loads of fun here chasing after the waves. Jules tried snorkeling while James just run after his brother. At the end of the day, all of us were sunburnt even though we slapped on tons of sunblock.

 above: break for lunch. ate at the hotel. too lazy to go anywhere.

For the 4 of us, we had calamari, nasi goreng, carbonara, strawberry smoothie and ice coffee. Total bill came up to $900k viet dong. Anyway we are almost towards the end of our holiday and we still had quite a fair bit of money left, so might as well eat up a good one!

above: soon it was evening time and they boys enjoyed drawing things on the sand and guessing after one another's drawing.

After James fell asleep, we told Jules that we were going downstairs for a drink and told him that he could watch some telly to entertain himself. Omg...i finally had the chance to go to a bar and have a glass of alcoholic drink on the last night of my holiday!!!

Danang Day 2 - How we spent our morning half at the beach!

GOOD MORNING DANANG!

Holidays are always looked forward too. And I'm so happy that I'm only on my 1st day....the sun here gets up so early! It's only 7am here but the day looks as if it was already past 10. I suppose it's because we are near to a beach yah? The sun always rises early...can't wait for my breakfast now.

The hotel we stayed in is called Fusion Suites Danang. The breakfast is already catered for in our hotel booking. Although the breakfast area was small, the variety of food was good enough for me! They had yogurt to eggs, Vietnamese salads, traditional banh mi, viet spring rolls, bread, tarts and even hot piping pho to start your morning. They also serve juices like guava, apple, coffee and tea.

 above: That's my breakfast!! So colourful and it's my way of a "clean eat". Don't you think so?

Their chicken pho broth was super clear yet yummy! Their vietnamese spring roll had 2 different types, one had prawns while the other had chicken in it. Needless to say, the prawn stuffed ones got taken up really quickly.

above:  to get to the hotel's swimming pool and beach, you have to cross the road. It's relatively easy to cross. Besides a zebra crossing, their staff will also guide you along when crossing. Once you get across, they only have one infinity pool that faces the beach in varying depths. The pool is served by a pool bar at the end where you can order snacks like burgers, fries, ice-creams, drinks like soft drinks, mocktails and cocktails.

above: here at Son Tra Beach, there's hardly anyone and so there are so so many seashells for the boys to pick and decorate their sand castles...or rather their sand mountain where Jules likes to dig a tunnel underneath it.

above: the kids having fun playing with sand. When travelling with kids to a beach, always remember to bring your sandcastle kit!!! it's so useful and keeps my boys entertained for the longest time.

after the boys had their fun at the beach, we went back to the pool for a short swim, the kids had their snacks while we had our cocktails!! woohoo!

I ordered a Pina Colada and a mojito which cost me $125k viet dong each, not cheap...but I'm on a holiday!!!
After we left the swimming pool, hubs ordered in-room service! - Foot Reflexology which was on the house....OMG so shiok.
