Nha Trang is is a developed beach resort which used to be a fishing village. Theres plenty of hotels (cheap hotels) restaurants and even a book exchange (we have both been reading loads...especially Dom)
The first afternoon we chilled on the beach for a couple of hours and read our books.
The next day we hired moto drivers and headed out of town to the Thap Bo hot spring centre which offers mud baths followed by mineral baths. Being on a budget we opted for a cheaper communal bath of cold thermal mud (which had the consistency of chocolate...Mmm! if only...........) it turned out to be a good move as we were put into a small bath which only 4 people could fit in and luckily no-one else joined us.
Dom was in his element ! Pouring mud over his head with bucket (trying to pour it over mine too but i was having none of it!!!)
After the cold mud bath you have a quick stint in a mineral jet shower before moving into a hot mineral bath (which was shaped like a heart - awww how romantic!!) for about 30 minutes.
For me it was like a bath at home but was a bit too hot for Dom (although he 'manned' it out) but to be fair after 10mins or so I had to sit on the edge of the pool & just dangle my legs in!
By this time your skin is nicely puckered & youre all flushed! but it's not over yet, oh no, you then go and swim in the 38 degree mineral swimming pool. Its difficult though as you get sooo hot but there are no cold pools (even the waterfall is warm water!!) So o cool down you just had to get out of the water!
We now have skin as soft as Reanies!!!
That night we bumped into John again and he introduced us to Jonny and Rich.
Rich is from Cleethorpes!! And Jonny is from Canada.
We headed to Why Not Bar and four hours or so later stumbled out again.Rich & Jonny were so drunk!Jonny threw up, Rich got chucked out the bar but let back in again...(long story) and so Dom and John had to carry Jonny whilst Rich stumbled off on his own !!!
At one point Jonny and Rich fell over. Rich landed on his jaw and had 80dollars stolen!!
Dom and I were hung over the next day but we really couldnt get out heads around how bad the other two guys had been.....
We saw Jonny earlier today (in Hoi An) and he says he thinks their drinks were spiked!! Scary...makes sense though because they both went inside & played pool for a hour and didnt have their eyes on their drinks..... (and then later got pick-pocketed...hmm)
Luckily Dom John and I stayed outside...I dont know how they would have both got back to their hotel if Dom&John hadnt helped them?
The next day was raining again ...which didnt matter to us as we were happy watching Star World & HBO all day and drinking water!! Ouch my head was banging
No more buckets for us
That night we got the Night Bus (Yes exactly like the Night Train in thailand but theyre not beds theyre dentist chairs!!!) The journey actually wasnt that bad...We left at 7.30pm and arrived in Hoi An the next day at 6am.....
