Rain Stopped Play (again)

Is there anywhere in the world that has some hot sunshine?

Admittedly, it’s warm enough here but that’s all I can say. I feel sorry for Bobs who really was looking forward to having a bit of a roast in between her revision. As it is, we’ve had to be content with entertaining ourselves in other ways.

So we dropped by a shop selling silk tapestry ‘paintings’ and watched a lady at work making one. It must be really hard, concentrated and time consuming but the results are spectacular.

I have to say though that Nha Trang is a bit light on cultural activities. It’s not exactly Vietnam’s Benidorm but it’s not that far removed.

Lots of karaoke lounges, restaurants, not too sophisticated bars

with just the occasional more traditional retail outlet

plus, of course, the inevitable construction activity. As soon as I’d taken this photo, a policeman told me ‘no photos’. So I’m not sure of the significance of ‘Tropical Fruit’!

And when it’s time for a break ? Well, you just sit down in the road, don’t you!

Close by our hotel a large stage has been constructed where, earlier, a group of young kids were happily singing and waving along to some well known pop/Coke song (not ‘I’d like to teach the world to sing’ but the other one).

And now, chairs are being put out (in the rain, of course) so we may be in for a bit of a concert later. Let’s just hope all the electrics are well insulated!
