Tuesday, Feb. 24

We were up and down for breakfast around 8:00 even though the roosters had been squawking for hours.

We had watermelon, coffee,  and banana pancakes with chocolate.  Not a bad way to start your day.


Then we headed to Tailor Shop #50 with a backpack of fabric and things for her to copy.
We were there almost two hours and $664 less, but they take Visa. Aeroplan points :)



Tomorrow we pick it all up.  I ordered three skirts modified, 10 tops, 2 dresses, 3 jackets,1 pair of capris, and Bruce ordered  a three piece suit, 2 pairs of shorts with zippers.

Then we moved on to the shoe shop.  There we ordered one pair of dress shoes for Bruce and 4 pairs of low pumps for me and one pair of sandals.  They take Visa too.

Then we went to Maryanne's souvenir shop. We bought a couple things to help start the new year off right.  Another coffee pot for Vietnamese coffee and a pair of earrings.



After finding the instant teller, and annoying as it is, the max you can take out is $2 million dong.  Of course each time there is a $5 fee.  We stopped for lunch, we ordered 2 kinds of spring rolls. Awesome!




Then we were off to the bag place.  I wanted my small bag that I bought in Mexico redone to fit my mini iPad etc.  they take Visa too.

Finally, we hit the jewellery store and ordered a ring to be made for Bruce. 

Time to go home for a rest and a cold beer. 

Time to go and find the White Lotus for dinner. This place is special in that the proceeds go to help disadvantaged youth. Bruce finally got a steak- Aussie strip loin with potatoe skins loaded with sour cream, cheese, and chives as well as veggies.  I had an almond crusted chicken breast with roasted potatoes and salad.  Very good!

Garlic bread





We took the long way home and are busy playing rummy.
