Place: Nha Trang to Jungle Beach

Weather: Sunny

We got up today expecting to have a beach day with the girls in the beds above. We knew we would be checking out but didn't know if we would be going to Hoi An or Jungle Beach, it all depended on whether or not we could find a way to get to Jungle Beach because we really wanted to go but it is way out of the way. We walked around for while looking for the bus company our open ticket was with to see if they could either do us a deal to get to Jungle Beach or book our ticket for the next bus.

We couldn't find it anywhere though, and Vietnamese people just cant make up their minds on which way it is; they all point in opposite directions! In the end we had to go back to the hostel to check out. Carm went to a travel agents whilst I was checking out though to see if they did transport and it turned out they did quite cheaply. She said that we could get the bus from Nha Trang to Hoi An to pick us up on the highway near Jungle Beach on the way so we didn't need transport back. She also knew where they bus office was so we walked to them. Turned out they did a cheaper option of transport to Jungle Beach anyway so we got a taxi from there straight away!

We didn't get a chance to say goodbye to the girls though which was a shame but it was nice to get out of Nha Trang which hadn't been as good as we expected. The taxi driver had no idea where he was going though and was not happy when the price on the meter went way over the price we had agreed on before we got in and we refused to pay the difference. He couldn't do anything about it though when we got there and just got out of the taxi and left.

Jungle Beach is awesome! In the middle of nowhere, everything is made out of bamboo and its sooo relaxing; you don't have to do anything. We were shown around a few different huts before we chose ours and then just crashed on the beach and had a sunbathe in what was left of the sun part of the day.

Dinner was the main event of our day and it was incredible! All of the meals are included there and they are impressive meals! We got unlimited amounts of rice, and 4 different foods to share between two of us. It was always so much and it was the same each meal time and for all lunches!

We met some of the other people staying there as well then because everyone has lunch and dinner together around one big table. They had some cards so we spent a couple of hours learning new games. It felt so much later than it was though and I was literally falling asleep so I went back to the hut but when I looked at the clock it was only 9.30! I still crashed out though…I think the fact that everything else had stopped around me meant that my body decided to stop too. It was a lovely sleep.
