First day of Scuba Class. In the morning we had to watch an instructional video which taught us some of the basics about diving, pressure, equipment, safety and other useful info. This was complemented by the bad comedic acting that could only be found on an American based instructional video! In the afternoon we finally got to taste some of the real stuff. Our instructor Chris (there was just us 2 in the group) took us to the pool and dished out his first piece...

Spoke to soon...grey clouds again! It's been the worst weather in 50-100 years in Vietnam this year. Went out to explore Nha Trang and Dave went flying down the curb nearly landing on his face - hilarious for Claire, the 2 Viatnamese women opposite, and the entire restaurant sat outside next to the curb. Dave didn't find it quite as funny. Had some lunch which included chicken curry served in a coconut. As the weather was a bit overcast we just wandered round t...

Woke up early enough to catch the train from Nha Trang. After the first 10 minutes of being stared at like we were freaks and having to move a groggy woman who was lying full length across our seats and clambering over dozing bodies on the floor we settled in our chairs for the 3 hour journey. Eventually got to Nha Trang and it's hot! Got to our hotel and went straight to the beach. Chilled out for the rest of the afternoon, before going out for something to eat...

Sunshine at last so off we went to venture round Quy Nhon. Gorgeous beatuiful beach resort, but no lazing the days on the beach as it's used mainly by fishermen and their boats line the whole of the bay.

We then lazed the afternoon drinking lassi's before going out for tea. When on...

Checked out of our hotel this morning to find more bloodey rain! Mulled around the town for the afternoon trying to find shelter from the rain. Endulged in our fix of Hoi An wantons for possibly the last time! At 6pm we went to get picked up by our coach for our 3 hour journey to Quang Nhai. Departed an hour and a half late we weren't to bothered as we would be there before 11 and hotels should still be open. At 10.30 pm we got to Quang Nhai and from what we co...
