Quy Nhon - Stepping Off the Beaten Track at Bai Xep

Sunrise at Bai Xep

At this stage of our trip travels Vietnam, solely as a result of our experiences in Hoi An, we were both ready to high tail it over to Cambodia without bothering to extend our visas to visit and miss Saigon, Dalat and the Mekong Delta.

Hoi An had poisoned us but we agreed that we needed to get away and get some perspective before making any rash decisions.

A beachside guesthouse tucked away from the hustle and bustle of city life seemed just the place to do it.  We had stumbled across Haven Guesthouse by chance when we were in Hue.  We stopped by the Hue Backpackers Hostel for a coffee and found their card, looked them up on the internet and booked 5 days.  It is times like this that the word serendipity was invented for.
