Deserted Resort

For the last weekend of Hayley's visit we decided to explore a remote resort 40km north of VungTau. We took the speed boat to Vung Tau and then ordered a cab for the next part of the drive.  There was confusion about how to get there and Frank and the cabbie got into a bit of an argument.  It was when Frank slapped the dash board and demanded he stop in order to clarify our situation that we knew it would be an interesting ride.  On line this resort reported that it was busy and we had few choices of accommodation left.  When we arrived we were upgraded to a villa on the ocean - but the entire place was deserted.

It was clean but the bathroom could have used an upgrade.  It felt very eery because there was NOBODY around except a few staff who just sat and watched TV in the lounge.  The pool was lovely and again all to ourselves.

AT the restaurant we were quickly told there was almost no selection to choose from (probably because there were no guests)  But what they did have was good and so we had it for dinner as well as there was nothing else close by.  The next day the rains started again and so we left early and had a lovely lunch at our favourite French Bistro in Vung Tau before our ferry was due.

We did get a few swims in before leaving and the water was almost too warm.  The last few days the rains have started and there have been a couple of thunderous storms followed by super rainbows.

It was a strange weekend.  How a place that accommodates well over 100 guests can be deserted on a weekend and with virtually no staff in sight can be a little weird. Oh well, they still only charged me for the discount rooms I booked because the website claimed all else were booked????
