…and found this perfect hill top street of beautifully maintained villas. These are all villas built for I’m thinking mid-level bureaucrats and in these capitalistic/socialist times, they rent the rooms to tourists from the cities.
I haven’t seen any other gringos and there is no English anywhere except to the extent that most Vietnamese speak serviceably. No English on the TV or menus for example, but the staff will happily explain.
The room there with all the floor to ceiling windows and the veranda is mine. It is bright and welcoming inside with views over a gorgous garden (for $10(!) too). A word of warning though, I did look at all the other rooms and mine was by far and away the most lovely.
