Winter 17/18 – A few Days in Phong Nha

After a few days at the beach, it was time to move on and meet Trang in Phong Nha.

It is a quick ride up the mountain – only 42 kilometers, but still, it took me an hour. I like to look at what is happening along the road, so I go quite slowly. Booked a hotel for a few days, since you never know how full it gets in the season up here.

Nhat Tan Hotel in Phong Nha

I booked a room at the Nhat Tan Hotel on the main drag in Phong Nha and only a few meters away from Trang’s bar.

That happens if you are tired and forget to tell them NO EGG!

Trangs Place

Nothing changed at the Spa apart from new staff. Some cosmetic changes at the bar and the rooftop were finished. The supermarket is open now.

Trang had the idea of getting more space for the bar to have one or two more tables. So she ordered a truckload of stones and sand. We filled the pond, and I removed the last concrete bit of the old stairs to the first floor behind the house. Lots of work and sweat. But things looked much better behind the house with the stones.

At the little Bar on the Hill

A bit outside is a bar on a hill. Nice spot to see the sunset or for a drink in the afternoon. We were not so lucky today. Clouds moved in, and that was it with the sunset.

I only stayed a few days in town, so there are not too many pictures.
