BBQ Sunday

Sunday 15th March

It's Sunday, it's sunny, it's hot, and our neighbours are having a party. Unfortunately there is karaoke .........................  fortunately we have not been invited but sadly the singing is loud, very loud.

A power cut occurs and appears to save the day but no such luck, within ten minutes they have a generator up and running, adding to the noise and spewing exhaust fumes into our bedroom.

Up on the roof

Could be worse, at least we have a BBQ up on the roof of the other cavers house to go to. The house is the tallest building in this part of Phong Nha and the views from the roof are fantastic.

Cooking, lets get this party started

We started off with Gin and Tonic while we waited for a bucket of ice to arrive, then it was cold beers with the usual selection of BBQ foods, chicken, pork chips and spring rolls with the local spicy dip, called 'Chao' (I think that's how it's spelt).

Food is ready

Seamus, who also lives in that house and manages the Easy Tiger Hostel, bar and restaurant, was there and gave us Easy Tiger discount cards which entitles us to 20% off food and drink which will come in handy and coupled with our locals rate at the Bamboo Cafe should cut the cost of living even further.

Setting Sun

We stayed to watch the sunset before heading back for an early night as we have a 7 am pickup tomorrow morning for a day trip to Tu Lan.

Sunset, time for bed
