Da Nang; Where they eat dog..

So we woke up early, none of us having slept very well.  We talked about getting out of HCMC and heading further north today rather than hanging around.  The plan had been to spend the day in HCMC then get the overnight train to Danang, then a cab to Hoi An.  The train was 17 hours, none of us fancied that, plus we didnt really know where in HCMC we were.  We found a flight that would get us to Danang in 1 hour, this was much more appealing than an 17 hours on a train, so we booked it.  We got a bus into the city, we walked around the market and found somewhere to eat, we had burgers and ice cream which was nice and very much needed after the last few days, we basically lived on crisps and rice.

After lunch we still had a while before our flight so we looked in some stores and had our nails done, then took a bus to the airport.  The flight was ok and soon we landed in Danang. We got a taxi to the hotel we had booked the day before..The Sea Wonder.  Check in was eventful!  The woman on reception was the only one who spoke any English, and she was totally, 100% mad!  She made us laugh though and soon we were shown to our room.  

So far I wasn't liking Vietnam, I had been looking forward to this part of our trip and was really dissapointed.  The biggest things putting a downer on it was the weather, it was cold and overcast, and the people, they were rude and uninviting...the total opposite to the Thai and Cambodian people we had spent the last few weeks with.
 
We unpacked and washed some clothes, we took a walk to find something to eat.  On the way we saw some people at the side of the road spit roasting a dog, it was disgusting, and I'll never, ever forget it... That was it, for the rest of our trip I was a vegetarian.  We found the centre of Danang and ordered food and beers in a little bar along the river side.  Everyone was looking at us, we trid to talk to a few people but they weren't interested.  The food was good, we ordered way to much.  We got a cab back to the hotel, it was late when we got back, not sure what time.
