Our last few days in Nha Trang have been really enjoyable. On Sunday, we headed out for breakfast before we went to the beach again to catch some rays. It was a lot hotter on Sunday due to the lack of clouds and after an hour or so we were both so hot that we decided to give up and head back to the hotel. After quick showers and getting changed, we walked to the Nha Trang Centre which is a shopping centre with a bowling alley and a cinema amongst other things. As you will have guessed from the blogs so far, Beth loves the cinema so we bought tickets to see The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 3d for about £2.50 each. After having a look around the shopping centre we went to see the film which was great. We would definitely recommend it. The shopping centre also has a food court which has great views out over the beach and the bay. It's worth going to just or the views!!
On Sunday night, we went back to Lanterns restaurant which is where we ate on Friday as it was so good. Beth ordered exactly the same thing again whilst I got a beef dish which was excellent again. We are enjoying being able to eat in restaurants again in Asia as the prices are so cheap.
We had made plans for Monday as we wanted to visit Vinpearl Land which is a theme park / water park / aquarium which is reached by the largest over sea cable car in the world. We jumped in a taxi to the gondola station and purchased our tickets. The views from the gondola were spectacular across the bay, especially in the sunshine. We got off the gondola at the theme park section of Vinpearl Land and went straight on a few rides. It was no Disney but we still enjoyed the rides - particularly the alpine roller coaster where you get into a cart and control how fast or slow you go down the track. We did go on another ride called Evolution which was not so great. I like rides but this one was slightly ridiculous in that you get into your seat and are well strapped in but you basically spend the whole time dangling upside down. I had to convince Beth to go on the ride and could here her cursing me as we were gazing down at the ground below!! We then visited the aquarium which was good before going to the water park. The water park was the best part of the day and we went on most of the slides; some of them together on a double ring and some of them apart where I could here Beth's screams echoing back up the slide. Overall, we both had a great day and it was definitely worth the money if you are in Nha Trang.
We had a quiet night on Monday as we had to be up early on Tuesday so we went out for some more excellent food before coming back to the room. Unfortunately, there was quite a large thunderstorm overnight which kept knocking the power off and waking us up. We awoke on Tuesday morning to heavy rain and had to make the 10 minute walk to the office where we were to catch our bus to Mui Ne.
We are now in Mui Ne after a painless bus journey of five hours. We have checked into our hotel which seems great. We have a balcony with sea views and there is also a pool which we are looking forward to lying around.
