We were woken up yesterday at 5.55am as a marching band went down the street playing trumpets and drums at full volume. A little strange. Then we spent the day shopping around the town including ordering me some tailor made clothes. Firstly I ordered a pair of trousers and white shirt in a shop before ordering two shirts in the cloth market. For all of these I paid around 50 pounds. I then got my feet measured for some shoes, the women like you to tell you a price then they tell you that that product isn't good so you need to pay more which is quite frustrating.
We had a nice dinner at a cafe that was quite expensive and absolutely packed, it served dishes such as beef curry in a coconut that was on fire. For both of our meals and drinks it cost about £11 which for here is quite upmarket.
We spent the evening and today buying presents and other things such as a kimono for me and some vests, which I now regret after getting burnt for the first time since arriving.
Today we also collected my clothes and went around the markets and little shops. All the clothes were good quality but the shoes took three hours longer than we had been told and they still said they needed more time. Overall I'm happy with what I bought but should have given it more time.
As we went to check out of our hotel we had to pay for an extra night as I had misread the booking sheet and we had just stayed in the hotel longer than what we booked. We were worried for a bit our booking at the next hotel might have been lost, but we were fine. We've just arrived in Da Nang. Our hotel is 50m from the beach and our window looks out to the sea. We're not in the city centre but we can spend time at the beach here as long as we find somewhere to eat.
