With path construction continuing for the third day at the main pool, we retreat to the lovely peanut shaped pool in the far side of the resort for the day. Even Ted is up for R&R today. I've almost totally wrenched off my big left foot toenail yesterday, and am anxious to keep it covered and baby it! What a nuisance! I bind it with multi bandaids and try a shower cap with elastic bands round it but it's not watertight...Ted went out to the little village and found some bigger bandaids and tape which wil help.
At 4pm we finally leave the pool, to arrange our plans for the next day, car to airport back to Hanoi, and get a 20% discoount off their rather high transfer fee. Our new neighbours for the night are from Newcastle, exhausted on their tour and opt to stay at th resort for dinner rather than take off with their group, sensible decision. They are glad they didn't opt for the Sapa tour, those who went saw nothing, rained steadily the whole time...not a good omen as we are due there for 4 days next week!
We enjoy another lovely meal in the gorgeous dining room at the resort, beautifuly prepared and served, and pass out again by 9pm. It's been hot and really humid so the pool is the only place to be.
Having drunk a cold 7up and beer from our expensive bar fridge, Ted later headed out the main gate across the road to pick up replacements. He's always prepared to walk a hundred yards to save five bucks!
