Veg out in Vietnam
Irish Independent – Sep 23, 2007
f course I was forgetting Vietnam’s incredible resilience and determination. It has long since recovered from the war and is keen now to attract upmarket tourism and to pitch itself as “the new Thailand”. Like Thailand it has glorious beaches charming scenery and brilliant food — even better in the street cafes than in the hotel restaurants. I spent one of the most blissful mornings of my life on the South China Sea off Nha Trang lying on a mattress under a white awning on a creaking fishing boat while the boatmen trailed lines in the water. We were chugging along a white-sand bay and round a headland where I saw a sea eagle almost close enough to touch and heard monkeys in the rainforest. ut to sea were all the knobbly islets and rock stacks where the salanganes live — the tiny swifts whose saliva-glued nests are used to make bird’s nest soup. I was hoping I could persuade the boatmen to take me there but they explained that the nesting sites were under 24-hour guard and no one was allowed near them.

We’ve got some time to kill before checking in at my hotel so my wife Susan and I do some shopping and sightseeing. As usual I’m exhausted from the overnight flight and can barely keep my eyes open while Susan is re-energized — it’s either the cool moist London air or the prospect of visiting some of her old familiar shopping locales.
