Danang

Danang was a bit of a disappointment for us. We had booked our flight to Hanoi from Danang so decided to go and spend a day there before we flew. The hotel we booked was one of the worst on the trip. It was only 4 years old, but was very dated and needed some serious repairs (like to the leaking ceiling in the hall way). We checked in then headed to the beach. It was much nicer than the beach in Hoi An, very quiet, no one trying to get you to buy things and a nice place to swim, although the waves were quite big. So we spent a couple of hours chilling on the beach then headed off in search of lunch. Due to it being low season most of the restaurants by the beach were closed. 
We had heard of a chicken place a bit like KFC and had the address on a pamphlet we were given at the airport so thought we'd give that a try. Unfortunately after a long time driving round the city we could find it. We ended up getting lunch in a mall. 
After lunch we headed back to the hotel and chilled out for a bit. We had seen an ad for a restaurant "the big boss-eat like a boss, pay like a student" we thought it sounded good and was on the same street as our hotel so we wondered down. It was a very much a restaurant for locals, it was really hard to pick anything to eat and our waiter spoke almost no English. I got a noodle dish that was so spicy I couldn't eat it and Shaun got a chicken hot pot which was not at all what we were expecting. We headed back to the hotel feeling we hadn't really eaten like a boss.
