Today's accomplishments involved getting a visa to Vietnam and walking a few of the local beaches.
We started by scouting for breakfast. Hotels don't seem to serve them in Cambodia. We were going to eat at a restaurant next door but they didn't,t look crowded enough to good. We walked down our entire Ochheutel Beach back to Serendipity Beach. In fact we were almost near the Lions roundabout before we chose one in which to eat.
Then we asked a tuk-tuk driver how much it'd cost to take us the three Vietnam Consulate. He said he wanted to take us both ways and that he'd wait. We grudgingly accepted. Filling out the application took longer than the processing. The fee for each single entry visa had gone up from the $45 we had read. We have never paid $60 to enter a country. The driver brought us all the way back to the Jasmine Hotel.
I put on my swimming trucks and we crossed to our beach. The plan was to take a dip in the beautiful looking sea. Instead, we ended up walking to the far end of our own beach, over a hill and into the next bay and Otres Beach. That is a little less developed by there were tons of people. Apparently kids must come here on college winter breaks. Of course, because of its history we see and hear a lot of French holiday-makers. Jay ate chicken amok but mine we shrimp. Of course, there is great deal of fresh seafood here.
It had taken us hours to walk the beaches, so we waned a ride back. A tuk-tuck wanted $4 so we both got on the back of he drive on a small scooter and came back to the hotel for $2.50. We headed back to the pier after it got dark. We had BBQ on the beach for $3 each.
