Ok we are now in Nha Trang the vietnam main beach and diving resort.
we have got a really nice room for $6 a night its well good
the beach is really nice and also realy empty first thing i did was steam straight in so now i have swam in the south china sea!
I booked myself on a dive the next day it costs about 20 quid for 2 dives plus full equipment hire so its well cheap. Ive also heard some really good things about diving here so i was quite looking forward to it. Also abit nervous because i havent dived for a while. We went oput to the dive sight, a marine park so its protected from fisherman.
so i jumped in and started my dive, it was ok, amazing coral but no large fish life what i expected so it was quite boring after a while. Halfway through my dive, i turned round and my dive buddy was gone he was on the surface talking to the boat, he had been stung on the head and face by a jelly fish! he was ok but he wanted to stop. I carried on with another group for about 30 minutes. Then we had a nice Vietnam style lunch on the boat.
On the second dive it was alot like the first also there were alot of jelly fish again, luckily i never got stung, because the sort of thing that would happen to me! my dive buddy didnt want to dive so he just had a snorkel on the surface, and he got stung again on the leg! it definatly wasnt his day!
I wasnt that impressed by Vietnams diving but now i can say ive dived in Cook islands, New Zealand and Vietnam ive done about 17 dives so far which is cool.
That night me and kris went out for a meal. We went to a really nice place near the beach overlooking the sea, we had loads of drinks and two main meals (i had king prawns, they were massive!) and the bill came to 4 quid!
the next day we just chilled in a really posh hotel slash resturant because it had a pool but you had to buy something to use it so we just got 1 water to share.
We decided we were going to get the bus to our next destination the next day. so we booked ourselves on it. the night before we were supposed to leave we went out for a few drinks( bad mistake) it was happy hour everywhere. i was getting 2 beers everytime i ordered 1 and kris was getting cheap vodkas! it all went down hill when i thought it would be a good idea to go and have some frozen margaritas in the next bar! Ok ive seen people deink these in films and on tv but this was the first time i tried them... and they were crap really horrible tasting, but they definatly did the job!
for some unknown reason there were loads of strange hats in this bar which me and kris ended up doing abit of a fashion show in, and then we were on our way to the Vietnam Kareoke bar! we stopped for one more drink and we got given the strongest vodkas ever i couldnt taste the orange and kept getting offered vietnam home grown! but i wasnt up for any of that thank you! and that was the end of the night for us both we got abit too drunk and didnt end up singing the duet we were planning!!
The next morning we were both looking well ill and there was no way we could handle 7 hours on the bus so we asked to go on the one the next day and just suffered by the pool all day.
This time we made the bus.
