It was a good job we didn’t hold our breath about Mui Ne as it rained the whole time we were there! We found that the beach was mostly taken up by resorts which made it virtually impossible to get on to if you were staying in a hostel! We also found it fairly dull and so we booked our onward bus journey for the very next day. This was to Nha Trang. We found Nha Trang was comparable with any slightly grubby European beach resort.

18.08.09 Well then here we are! after what seemed like an eternity of planning, packing, sorting our affairs and explaining our route to friends we have finally made it to our first destination. Our flight was pretty uneventful and smooth and I slept most of the way here whilst Kate enjoyed the 'On Demand' TV system.
