June 21st, ViAnh
visiting.
Techom bank branch. A greedy, useless bank with hopeless IT support.
Vincom plaza where the bank is situated. Not
far from the hotel and pool.
|
|
|
One of the many empty hotels in Nha
Trang. 22 000 Chinese used to show up on a monthly basis. They are all gone.

Here ViAnh is
playing in the pool. Martin in the

Off to Alpaca Restaurant. Martin's
favorite in Nha Trang. Goes there 3-4 times a week.
They have an unique menu on a metal board. Very original. |
|
|
Upstairs seats some 20 guests.
And outside on the balcony, another 2. |
|
|
The food is made on the
3rd floor from the ground. Using a lift with a stern warning.
The inside on the ground floor seats 8 and outside another 10. |
|
|
Unique bottle shapes
for the water. A real trademark of the restaurant.
Craft beer. Not nice and too expensive. Why not
Saigon White? Costs one 7th of the craft beer for a ,45 liter
bottle. |
|
|
The staff gets only one
shirt with the trademark "A" on the back. Jenny
hard at work. She is nice and her "A"-shirt is in the wash.
As a regular, I get 10% off everyting. Nice
incentive for frequent guests. |

The craft beer. Martin
doesn't like and it is too expensive. Martin and
granddaughter at ground lever.
Watch the video of the restaurant. Gives a good overview. Download it
first if it doesn't play. 66Mbytes, takes some time. |

Always a stop at Lan's.
A lovely woman that always smiles and welcomes Martin. |
