Van Chai Resort in Thanh Hoa
Well several folks have asked me about Thanh Hoa, where we stayed and what the area was like. First a few pics of Van Chai resort which is where we stayed for two nights after getting Sadie. It was a very nice place and a very good price. I know you can google their website for more info. Anyway , top pic is outside of our room, pic 2 is of our room with Deanna sitting on the bed with Sadie, pic 3 is the grounds outside our balcony and 4 is of the beach at the resort.
We were there in late October 2007. It was rainy and windy on one day but the other two really nice. I went swimming in the sea with the in country staff folks, it was pretty warn but a little choppy that day. The cafe on site has alot of different Vietnamese dishes and loads of seafood. We both love seafood and I grew up in coastal NC but this was some of the freshest I have ever had. Breakfast was included with the room and they had a congee(pork on day and shrimp another) that they gave Sadie. When they say baby porridge they mean regular porridge in a smaller bowl. I tasted it and it was very good, Sadie at 7 months loved the stuff as well as pho. By the way they serve a great bowl of it. The resort was about 20-25 minutes from town and 15 minutes or so from the orphange.
