Weekend getaway - Dong Hoi Resort

This weekend Mr Van considered that my 3rd week in Vietnam has to be properly celebrated. So we woke early and bravely surrendered to the near-death experience that is the 1 hour drive to the city of Dong Hoi. 60km later we arrived at the Sun and Spa Resort 

and grateful that we made it, we immediately set to explore our surroundings: balinese style open reception, big swimming pool, beach with sun beds and activities for kids and adults, jet-skis, beach bar menu that included pizza, pasta and the classic club sandwich.

For couple of hours we forgot where we were, having $3 Mojitos and a $10 Pork Snitzel spot-on. 

The only incident that snapped us of our dreamy state of island retreat was when our big umbrella collapsed in the pool being knocked down by a combination of wind and poor anchoring system. We laughed it off and continued at having a fantastic day!

One thing we learnt in here is to take it all with a grain of salt, laugh at the surroundings and ourselves more and just focus on what's important: life is what we make out of it.
