I had a terrible sleep last night, the AC didn't work so I was really hot, so kept waking up. We had a bit of a lie in this morning then went to get some breakfast, we all had beef noodles as a 'beer cafe', literally all the locals had flagans which were kept full by huge jugs of beer, we felt it was slightly too early to start drinking at 09.30, especially before a 5 hour bus journey. We got some snacks for the journey then headed to the bus station. Yesterday we were told that our bus would leave at 12.30 but when we arrived at 11.30 we were told that it was going to leave shortly, we put our rucksacks under the bus and it had started to pull out when we jumped on at 11.40, nothing like a keeno! At about 16.00 we arrived in Dong Hoi, during the journey the bloke next to me fell asleep and rested on my shoulder, rather awkward. George was in charge of getting us to the hotel, so he naturally took us the wrong way, Rob and I soon told him the error in his ways, I guess it's a good job he is doing geography at uni next year. After eventually getting to the hotel (£2.50 a night) we went for a wander along the beach front, after a while we sat down at a beach-side cafe and had drink then went to a restaurant a short way away. The menu, like nearly every other one, was in Vietnamese but the owner spoke some English so we were able to order crab. They went down the road to get it and brought it to our table, still alive, then in no time at all it was on our plate. Part way through George asked what the white stuff was, Rob and I replied "meat" and asked what he had previously been eating, it turns out he had been munching on the crab poo, he did find it very tasty though, each to their own I suppose...
