VIETNAM 1

It was a long travel.
We left home at 7:00am in the morning, we arrived the hotel 12 hours later!
In Hanoi, we waited 4 hours in the Airport for transfering to Cam Ranh.
During waiting, we've got nothing to do.
Only watching people.
Iza suddenly asked,
"Mama you should buy me more books on Bible.
I want to know why there are so many different mankinds and languages!
Are we all come from Adam and Eve?
We should be the same."

During this trip, iza asked twice for buying her books on Bible stories.



The private pier
Six Senses Hideaway on Ninh Van Bay is only accessible by water.
When we arrived the private pier, a little white boat was waiting for us.
Exclusively for us.


The hotel
It is a total hideaway.
A nice back to nature experience.
But to urban dwellers like us,
it takes efforts and time to adapt to having sweats all over faces whenever you eat.
Only bedrooms and spa rooms are air conditioned,
all the other areas are open or semi-open.
And, there are flies on food as in all natural settings.
One interesting thing is that there is no hotel key!
When we slept, we could use bolts in the interior.
When we left, we could only left doors unlocked.
It is not we accustomed to.
We felt insecure.
Back to nature,
being primitive is not a gesture,
it is not adjusting the nature to fit us like in all urban settings.
We should adapt to it.
Got relax,
even in mindset.




The restaurant

The Villa
We lived in the hill top villa.
There are over 120 steps from the bottom of the hill.
Walk is the only mean.
It was the most difficult part for iza.
The last day, iza said,
"You should book the hotel with me next time.
When we come back 2 years later, we live on the beach!"
Iza loved the trip.
And, it seems that she wants to come back but not living on the hill top.

The Outdoor Pool
The villa comprises of 2 huts.
One is living room.
The other is bedroom and bathroom mansion.
Every villa, there is a private swimming pool.


Very nice bathroom setting and facilities.

The Room

There are more photos to come...
