Hello everyone, how are you today?
Weekend is here, what do you usually do on the weekend? I usually like to spend time with friends. We are usually busy on weekdays, so weekends are an opportunity for us to meet and have a good time together. We usually choose remote and secluded locations to get away from the city and enjoy some fresh air for a peaceful weekend. And this time we chose to enjoy our weekend at a hidden homestay called Earth Tone.
Where is Earth Tone located?
Earth Tone is a hidden homestay located at the end of Alley 31 Sao Nam, Ward 11, Da Lat City. It is located in a small, steep alleyway of a pine hill overlooking the greenhouse valley. True to its name, this is a homestay very close to nature. And the fresh air, the quiet atmosphere and the beautiful view are the reasons we have chosen to stay here. This place is a great gathering place for groups. There are only 4 bedrooms here which is perfect for our group of 8. We came here in the afternoon. Since the alley to the homestay is quite narrow and steep, we were forced to park our car at the beginning of 31 Sao Nam alley and then walk downhill to reach the homestay. As soon as we arrived at the homestay, we all liked it very much because of the privacy and closeness to nature with a lot of trees and flowers throughout the homestay space.
How was our weekend there?
After checking in, storing our luggage, and resting a bit, we started preparing for dinner. The weather was quite cold so we decided to make barbecue and drink wine. Thankfully, this homestay offers a spacious outdoor dining space with lots of trees around and the kitchen utensils needed to make a barbecue. I was the most experienced camping person in the group, so I was assigned the task of lighting the fire and grilling the food. You know, I also quite enjoy that job because the reward for it is enjoying the delicious food first.
Food preparation took longer than we expected. We weren't able to start our party until around 8pm. But it's okay, we still had a great weekend dinner. The later it is, the colder the weather is. And the hungrier people are, the better the food. There is nothing like sitting around the fire with friends, enjoying delicious food, drinking wine and chatting in a private space. Our party ended quite late around 1am, everyone was quite tired but very happy. We still try to clean up together before personal hygiene and going to bed.
On the next day, I was the first to wake up because I always want to enjoy early morning time in places with lots of trees like this. The air there is really fresh and quiet. From the homestay, we can look out over the valley of the greenhouse where people grow vegetables and flowers. The space around the homestay is also very green with a small forest in the corner of the yard. The little girl and the dogs at the homestay also got up early and enjoyed the sunrise with me. You know, I think they know I like them so they came to me without hesitation. After a while, the rest of my group woke up too and then we had breakfast together which is instant noodles and coffee. We enjoyed a fresh weekend morning and continued the stories of the previous night before heading back to the city to prepare for a new week.
Well, we had a wonderful weekend at Earth Tone - a hidden homestay. I hope you also have a great one to recharge for a productive week. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and have a great weekend.
