Pronouced kwee ngon, this small city is surrounded by a transparent blue sea and small mountains.
The first day, I rented a bike, went from one wayof the beach to another, couldn't go any further, so I climbed the giant rocks willing to go to the Queen's beach, but I realized quickly that I couldn't, so I just had a swim there, then took my bike and went completly to the other way, willing to get to the island. But it was getting late and I was hungry, so I just stopped at a some small restaurant next to the road, in the water. It was great eating while watching the fish swimming under my feet.
I had some extra delicious gigantic prawns with rice, mmm... so good. Then I went back to the beach, felt asleep, got sunburned indeed, went home for a shower. Later, I just had a Sinh tô on the street. Sinh tô is this sort of exotic fruit salad, served with condensed milk and peanuts that you mix yourself with ice. It's so so so good! You should come to Vietnam just to eat that!
The second day, I also took my bike, finally found the way to get to the other side of the peninsula: only by boat! So I found one, it was hard to negociate the price and I end up paying 5 euros! (which is a lot) but after the quick ride to Hai Minh, I climbed there to a enormous statue, where you can appreciate the vue on Quy nhon bay, from where I continued down to a little paradisiac beach of white sand and perfectly blue water just for myself! I jumped into the water watching the fishing boats around, when I saw this little dude: a young boy around 18, Tin Tin (no clue how to write it). We just sat there together watching the sea for a while, then we moved under some trees to avoid the burning sun, he left and I just went back into the water. Came back to the swarf where the boat was waiting for me, and came back to the city. I decided then that it was time to eat, and went back to the place of flotting restaurants. I choose another one, smaller. No one spoke english so I just choose some fish out of the picture. 20 minutes later they brought me a 2kg fish with lemontree, vegetable, a plate of salad, herbs and cucumber, and riceleaves and tought me how to make spring rolls! It was orgasmic!!! So good I could never forget that taste, I ate it all!!!
Then I met Ashley on the way back, a belgian girl living there, I bought my train ticket and went for a Sinh tô before going back to the hostel to have a shower and rest.
The next day, I rented a bike again, had lunch with Ashley in a vegetarian restaurant (it's not a good term for a vietnamese typical place to eat, so please replace it) Awesome food. Then we went to the beach to enjoy a Sugar cane freszh juice starring at the sea. She went back to work, and I went to the Queen's beach, after she told me how to go there. I had to pay a bit but I drove in the mountains, enjoying the view. It was very tireing under 40° so I swet a lot but enjoyed a watermelon juice before going back to the city, and after a last Sinh tô (it is that good!), came back for my backpack, and went to the train station. There was some kind of problem with the rail, so they prepared some bus to Huy Toa, and we arrived right on time to catch the train. (around 7.20 pm)
After a shaking night on the train, we finally arrived in Saigon. I called Mateusz and we spend the day together, with his father and friend Darek, visiting Ho Chi Minh City. Saw a lot of poles today! More than I've seen during the entire trip, so I'm really enjoying speaking polish, with polish sense of humor! We're probably gonna eat at some "bui bui" or vietnamese restaurant later on the street. Nice!
