Today was our day of rest at the Allezboo, a resort where we got a completely different view of Vietnam. When we arrived at the resort, my jaw dropped. It was beautiful! I definitely was not expecting a nice hotel right by the beach; I felt like I was in a hotel at Waikiki!
My roommates and I woke up at around 6:15 AM, and we met the others in the lobby at 7 so we could board the bus to go to the sand dunes. When we arrived there, we immediately had children asking us if we were interested in sledding down the hill for a small amount of cash. We were hesitant at first, but we couldn’t say no because we may never have another opportunity to go sledding on a sand dune again. Kim-Hee, Annalise, and I were the first three to slide down a hill that we thought was pretty steep. After we had rode down a few times, the children asked us if we wanted to ride down the bigger hill. We didn’t realize how big the hill was until we got there, and I have to say, I was actually scared! After the first few times we rode down the hill (and busted a sweat coming walking back up), the other girls rode down too, and it was hilarious watching their reactions as they rode down for the first time.
(Out of all the reactions I’ve seen this trip, nothing can beat Hayley’s freak-out while riding the ostrich; definitely one of the highlights of this trip.)
When we got back to the resort, a majority of us had booked appointments at the salon, where we were able to be pampered for about an hour. My experience at the spa was very relaxing, and the staff was so friendly to everyone.
This was one of my favorite days of the trip; I feel as if it served as somewhat of a bonding day with the other girls.
