Tam Cőc Garden Resort is a nice peaceful place so we decided last night that we would give more of today over to just lounging around the resort and exploring the local village of Tam Cőc.

This morning we walked into the village along a nice paved sidewalk, explored some of the back streets and lanes of the village including a Pagoda from the 17th century, and bought bread rolls to carry back to our room for lunch.

Rob spent a lazy afternoon getting a massage in the Resort Spa and generally being idle, while Nina explored the resort and its environs (including a lengthy hike to Thung Nham Eco Tourism Zone further up the valley) seeking that perfect photograph, which she has informed me she did not find.

The weather cooperated wonderfully as the sun appeared about 11:00 am and stayed around for the rest of the day.
