Most people are leaving today and the hotel has already closed one of its two restraunts and the spa. The whole place (107 rooms) closes next week.
And the music didn’t quite play on
There is a melancholia in the air, a sort of fin de siecle around the pool, with bar staff hanging rather listlessly around unshaken shakers and untwizzled twizzlers.
Feel so sorry for the lovely staff at this hotel. This younger generation are perhaps the first generation in Vietnam not to be shaped by violent adversity, and it seems so unfair that there will be adversity ahead not of their making.
The young waitress who served us breakfast this morning says she will go home and wait for things to improve. She will try and find work, but accepts the unlikliehood of that.
All dressed up, nowhere to go
And so farewell La Siesta Hotel Resort and Spa.
You treated us well.
