The lady of the house said goodbye to us yesterday, because today at 9am when the taxi she called us, was supposed to pick us up, she was in school for the parents meeting. Obviously she has more unreasonable belief in vietnamese accurateness than we did, because when she returned at 9:15, we were still there. Anyway, at some point before 9:30 the car pulled in and appr. at 10am we were in the airport. As it turned out, 2 hours prior departure was fairly last minute considering the non-efficiency of the Vietnamese. There were three counters opened for Bangkok flight: check-in (we had checked in online), luggage drop off (we had none) and document check. That's what we needed. There was exactly one couple in front of me, with huge amount of luggage. Dealing with their check in took 10 minutes and already it was my turn. By that time there were three long lines waiting and it didn't seem that any of them was concerned about standing in correct line. Also to the passport check people were let in in small groups.
Still remembering the cheap prices in Hanoi airport, we had planned to have lunch before boarding, but the airport restaurants had other plans. Croissant with two slices of tomato and mozzarella was 6.50 USD. We had french fries in Burger King. We actually also had a gourmet trip planned last night, but it didn't really worked like planned. I had read on an more or less official Hoi An web page that if you haven't eaten grilled rice papers and mango cakes, you haven't been to Hoi An. So we went to the island, where there was supposed to be lots of the mentioned rice paper. What wasn't there, was the rice paper. We had some french fries. Back on the better known streets I got that highly praised mango cake, which turned out to be tasteless gluey thing. So much of the authentic gourmet.
In Bangkok we asked in the information, where does the bus go to town. According to the information by Exit 6. There we were, standing in the bus stop by Exit 6 until one moment our bus No A4 was just driving past us. A4, apparently doesn't stop in the bus stop by Exit 6, but randomly by Exit 4. Next A4 departed half an hour later. At least it wasn't cold to wait there.
We had planned visiting Unicorn Cafe and later some shopping for tonight. We started with the cafe. Since 25 cake layers speak more than 1000 words, look at the pictures. We visited Thann and Uniqlo in Siam and went to the bus stop to get back to the hotel. After half an hour there was the bus and another half an hour later we were in the hotel.
