Vietnam Day 11 : Why we chose Sinh Tourist Bus - Cafe 43 - Hoi An to Nha Trang and Dalat Sleeping Bus

Today we didn't go anywhere except Hoi An Ancient Town.

Breakfast in the guesthouse, She chose banana pancake while I had Banh Mi with scrabbled egg

Fake Sinh Tourist office is everywhere especially Ha Noi

In the early morning having breakfast in the guesthouse, the owner of the guesthouse ask where we were go next. Since we were going to the Da Lat, he suggested us to take An Phu instead of Sinh Tourist or Hanh Cafe as An Phu has direct bus to Da Lat while others need to change bus at Nha Trang. Below is the price of each company bus from Hoi An to Da Lat:

Sinh Tourist : VND298k (The price we asked in Sinh Tourist Office, the price quoted by the guesthouse is VND350k)
Hanh Cafe : VND280k (The price we asked in Hanh Cafe Office)
An Phu : VND300k (The price quoted by the guesthouse)

At last, we decided to book Sinh Tourist at the office as An Phu has very bad review after we read from the tripadvisor.com and Hanh Cafe has bad review too even tough the price is cheaper.

After we checked out, we walked to the Sinh Tourist Office and leave our backpacks there. Then, we enjoyed our few last hour in the ancient town.

The bus schedules departure is at 7:15 and we had to reach the office an hour before to check in. We get a wet tissue and a small water bottle for each of us which cannot see in Hanh Cafe service.

After get on the bus, we get the below seat as we reserved with the office. The upper deck seats were empty which means the bus is filled less than half of the capacity. This is nice to us as we had more space to put our bag and shoes to other seat.

After bus departed, I slept as my stomach feeling full after eating banh mi. There were two stops for 30-45 minutes. First was 10pm and second was 2am. I was awake at the first stop.

The first stop over
