New Year in Vietnam
As always, we took a ticket through Let's go with us at Veronica's. Although the whole tour is organized by Pegasus. The flight from Boryspil to Vietnam pleased me - a large Boeing-767 of Kharkiv Airlines rushed over in 10 hours without refueling. They fed twice, often offered drinks (juices, water, coffee, tea, and not what you thought). At the Cam Ranh Nha Trang airport, we suffered a little with obtaining a visa (thanks - Veronica filled out our questionnaires back in Kyiv). Then we got on a Pegasus bus with a Russian-speaking transfer guide and in 2 hours we reached the Saigon Nin Chu hotel in Phan Rang. Contrary to forecasts, Vietnam met with sunny weather, although with strong winds. In general, as the locals later told us, there is almost no rain in Phan Rang all year round. But there is a season of winds. There is no wind from late February to early May. But personally, with the wind it was easier for me to endure the heat. Settled in immediately. The room is spacious, clean. There is the first Russian channel on TV. The hotel only CIS citizens (Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians... ). The hotel has billiards, a small gym, a shop, etc. The sea is right under the hotel. Sun loungers are free only by the pool, by the sea - very rarely. The hotel beach is clean (I have never seen garbage and dirt). WiFi is free, although it works differently. Breakfast is excellent - delicious and varied! The currency is changed directly at the reception, but it is better - across the main road at the Raduga travel agency from Russian-speaking Vietnamese (you can also take excursions there - from Pegasus it is almost 2 times more expensive). The exchange rate is even more favorable in jewelry stores, but for this you need to go to the city - the difference will go to pay for a taxi. Also near the Rainbow they sell packages of local telephone companies and fruits at a reasonable price. Immediately behind the Rainbow is the Orange cafe, revered by tourists. We ate every time in a new place - and on the shore in fishing eateries, and in a hotel restaurant, and in the city. In Vietnamese cafes, what did not triple me the most was that they set exorbitant prices and you have to bargain. So we just looked for a cafe with decent prices in advance. Worth a trip to the city. And not only because of cafes and shops. . There is the real (without showing off) life of Vietnam (color with the chaos of traffic, market vinaigrette, where they simultaneously sell fresh fish, fruits, vegetables, clothes, etc. ). You feel like a star - everyone pays attention to you, tries to touch you, some take pictures. Excursions with Thailand do not compare. The only thing I liked was Winpearl Amusement Park - it's a separate island, which leads to the world's longest cable car over the sea.
