Day 6 - Motorbikes, massage and pool

Today began with an hour long Vietnamese motorbike ride. There were two motorbikes, each with a sidecar. My sister and mum sat in the sidecars while my dad and I had to sit on the back of the bike behind our drivers and cling on to anything. During the ride, the motorbike I was on with my sister got chased by a dog for a while. And we almost hit a massive Vietnamese cow which had decided to lumber towards the bike as it sped across a dirt path.

Halfway through our motorbike journey we stopped to look around a Vietnamese vegetable and herbs farm. Where we saw how the Vietnamese water their crops. A tiny female farmer offered for myself and my sister to attempt to water the crops. Which is a lot more difficult than it sounds, it consists of two big, metal sprinkling cans attached to a long thin piece of wood being balanced on your back.

Once we got back to the hotel we relaxed by the pool for a couple of hours, listening to music and doing some studying.

Later on in the afternoon it was time for our massages. We headed down to the spa where my mum and sister were taken to a different massage room than my dad and I. It was my first ever massage, and for the first 10 minutes I was trying very hard not to laugh, as it is a weird experience, but very relaxing.

Afterwards, we hung about in the rooms before spending dinner and the remainder of the night on the beach, having a few drinks and listening to music.
