On the morning of departure, my wife<br />
and I woke up early to check our<br />
luggage one final time. Oc still slept<br />
soundly on the bed. When it was time<br />
to leave, Thao gently scooped Oc into<br />
her arms and carried her to the taxi that waited<br />
outside. It was dark and cold.<br />
Oc was awake by the time we pulled into the<br />
parking lot at Noi Bai Airport, but was still<br />
yawning. She pulled her own suitcase to the<br />
check-in counter.<br />
Quy Nhon welcomed us with<br />
the cool and pleasant atmosphere of a<br />
seaside city.<br />
In Quy Nhon we stayed in a homestay near<br />
the beach, and often woke up early to go on<br />
beachside walks. Oc loved seeing small crabs<br />
run across the sand.<br />
We had a good time in Quy Nhon. The local<br />
people were friendly and the accommodation<br />
costs were quite reasonable. We often ate<br />
noodles with fish or jellyfish for breakfast;<br />
these dishes cost around VND20,000 -<br />
25,000. After breakfast we liked to sit and<br />
enjoy a cup of coffee while taking in the open<br />
space and greenery of the area. A cup of coffee<br />
cost VND12,000 - 17,000.<br />
One of the highlights in Quy Nhon is Eo Gio.<br />
My family loved visiting Eo Gio and hearing<br />
the wind whispering through the cave walls<br />
and mountains, harmonizing with the waves<br />
crashing on the shore. Even the road to reach<br />
Eo Gio was stunning. The bridge offers<br />
a panoramic view of Thi Nai Lagoon and<br />
peaceful Quy Nhon City. White sand dunes<br />
speckled with trees line the street. Eo Gio is<br />
beautiful with its rigid rock cliffs stretching<br />
to the sea. The place seemed alive. The<br />
mountains cradled the boat-studded sea while<br />
the water leapt and danced. Waves crashed<br />
onto the shore, singing a chaotic love song to<br />
the birds twirling above them. The splendid<br />
landscapes enchanted my little girl. "Sea!<br />
Sea!", Oc exclaimed over and over.<br />

The streets were deserted and<br />
quiet in the evenings. Quy<br />
Nhon's rhythm of life was<br />
certainly much slower and<br />
more leisurely than in Hanoi.
