After dinner, we ventured over to the other side of the river. It was much more lively, loud music, dance floors and cheap drinks. We went to the backpackers bar and tried the local spirits, they blew our head off!! The next morning, we walked to the western union, but it was closed because it was a Sunday. We had seen on line that the ones in Da Nang were open, so we had breakfast, and then hired a scooter so that we could go to Da Nang. It was 30km to Da Nang...

We got to Nha Trang at 6.30am and finally saw the beach! We had been waiting for that!! We found a hotel, had some breakfast, then went to lay on the beach for the morning! Mmm!
