Another nice lie in! We hired the same motor bike and made our way back down to Will and Monica's again. The sun wasn't too hot so we all decided to walk up the fairy spring. The fairy spring is a river that you literally walk up. The water is only about 2 inch deep and the bottom is sand so it's really easy and quite refreshing. 2 young Vietnamese lads invited themselves to be our guides for the day, of course for a little cheeky fee that they would later expec...

A lie in at last! Well 8.30AM as we were woken up by the hotel staff who got the wrong room! Dave wasn't annoyed at all. Feeling more confident on the bike and more importantly saving 5$ Dave decided he could now manage a manual shift motorbike with gears and everything!So after a few jerky starts we set off on the quiet stretch of road that is Mui Ne until we got to where Will and Monica were staying. Once there they let us use their private beach which is on a...

Got picked up first thing this morning for our bus to Mui Ne. We met a couple on the bus (Brigge and Layne) who were also on our diving boat yesterday. We were basically the only people on the bus and had it to ourselves, other than 1 or 2 locals and the crazy bus driver. We soon made the decision to not look forward, at all - it was too scary. We survived and got dropped off (again having to tell the driver to stop) right in the centre of Mui Ne, which is basic...

Woohoo!!! - we've passed and are now qualified PADI Open Water Scuba divers!!! First thing this morning again we we were taken directly ro the boat for our 18 metre dive! It went really well and didn't take u too long to get to the sea bed. Our instructor then made us do more skills which involved hovering, that we had to do in turns for 30 seconds each. Dave went first whilst Claire was left to play with a group of 4 fish that were very curious about her. ...

Our first sea dive! We had to get up at 6:30 AM to go and catch the boat, to do our first dive at Debbies beach Hon Mun. It was nice to be into the clean fresh sea and out of that horrible pool where we've probably caught some horrible disease. We got down to 12 metres with no problems really, unfortunatley the visibility was really bad, just 1-2 metres, so we didn't get to see too much. It was fun though and the second dive was similar but we saw 1 fish We...
