We hardly left the Nam Hai today. After breakfast we had 90 minute massages and facials. We could get used to this. We borrowed some bikes and went for a long ride. Thankfully Vietnam in this area is flat. Upon returning from biking we read by the pool. This is a very different and enjoyable experience for us. We are just hanging around getting pampered. The food here is delicious. Before dinner a server brings over a box offering you a selection of chopsticks. That was a choice I had never been offered before. Now that I think of it back at the Metropole Hotel, in Hanoi, just inside the dining room, there was a large display of chopsticks that were engraved with peoples name. Perhaps there is more to chopsticks in Vietnam that I need to research. I had a wonderful Suckling Pig for dinner, will have it again tomorrow night it was so good. We enjoyed talking to the waitstaff. We bring up Communism and living under it, but it is clear they don’t feel comfortable talking about it.

Tomorrow is another day just hanging out here, more massages, more bike rides more reading. We then will resume out tour. I am not sure I want to leave here it is so nice.
