After just one night in Nha Trang we got back on the - now dreaded - bus for Mui Ne, another beach town. This time the bus only took about 5/6 hours, and it was in the morning and a lot more comfortable, so much more enjoyable! We got chatting to a couple of people of the bus who had said their bus to Nha Trang that morning was making the same noises, so the company still hadn't fixed the bus! Again we followed Stephanie's lead with the choice of hotel which turned out to be amazing. The rooms were massive and they had a bar/restaurant area with a rooftop pool overlooking Mui Ne which was great. There isn't a load to do in Mui Ne itself, but we had wanted a couple of days to relax so this was ideal. The town, like Nha Trang, is mainly set up for Russian tourists so there are loads of shops with crocodile skins, bags and outfits hanging on the walls, as well as crocodiles being spit roasted in many of the restaurants. There were also loads of shops selling bottles of vodka with full snakes in them, which I think is a Vietnamese thing. Apparently you drink the vodka taken from the tap on the bottom until it is finished, then each the snake/lizard/what ever creature has been sat in the alcohol. We went down to the beach on the first day, but again Mike want overly impressed, and the weather was temperamental so the beach wasn't a great option. After speaking to the hotel manager we found out the weather was so off because a typhoon was due to hit Vietnam further up the coast (where we had just come from) so we figured we'd been pretty lucky with the weather!On the second day we took a day trip with Stephanie to see the sand dunes which is the one main attraction in Mui Ne. Our first stop was the 'fishing village'. This was an area where a lot of fishing boats gathered at the bottom of a stepped slope and women collected fish in baskets to sell to the locals at the top. It wasn't exactly what you'd imagine a 'village' to be, but was really interesting. We then went on to the white sand dunes. They are the only sand dunes in Vietnam so they were pretty impressive in that respect as they went on for miles. They have been a bit over sold as a tourist attraction though as they offer the hire of quad bikes which are driven by what looked like 13 year old boys over the dunes - a bit frightening. Mike enjoyed sledging down some of the dunes while Stephanie and I were on quad bike watch! We were then taken to some quieter dunes which had redder sand, then on to 'the fairy stream'. The stream itself looks pretty muddy, but the surroundings are really picturesque. We walked up the stream in the crater until we reached a sand hill. We were told by a young boy to walk up the sand hill, and at the top there was a fantastic view on the river and the rocks coming down.
