DIARY - Monday 14th January 2008 It's push bike hire day again to explore the narrow back streets and the local sights. Starting with the Po Nagar Cham Towers 7th century, the Long Son Pagoda with its 152 steps to the top. I rode round the town for 5 hrs before collapsing into a chair at the sailing club, beer in hand absolutely knackered. One thing I should have remembered and didn't. Alcohol affects me pretty badly, goes straight to the head.
When I woke up this morning I was Angelina Jolie, by the time I had had a pint of Saigon beer I was Miss Marple, falling asleep, mouth open. Believe me it won't have been a pretty sight, I just hope I wasn' t dribbling. I know this of course because the young waitress very kindly imitated my stupor when she brought me the bill! I was meant to get up this morning at 5 am to see the sunrise over the bay, the alarm went off and I decided to hell with it, I hope I will be around to see more sunrises over the South China Sea before I leave.
