May 24 –
Another early morning and another day across the world! Day 3 was packed full and left me more exhausted than I realized. We woke up early, ate breakfast, and left the hotel all before 7am. We loaded a van that took us on a 2 hour ride to the Dobla Chocolate Factory. Here, we were able to meet the president of the company and the head chef. They told us more about the company, introduced to us new products, and we even got to create our own chocolate decorations! For lunch, we tried the Phó, which is a famous soup here in Vietnam. After the tour of Dobla we made our way to the beach! During the ride we passed many things like A TON of cows (which were so skinny you could see their bones), multiple duck farms (which housed MILLIONS of ducks), and a bunch of workers working the the rice fields. Once we got to the beach, the ocean was beautiful and it felt so good to just relax (plus, we got some great photo ops)! It was another great day experiencing the unknown – can’t wait to see what day 4 has in store 😊
