Nha Trang
(3 nights)
After a scenic drive we arrived in Nha Trang. We were so looking forward to getting back on the beach and it was raining!!! Come on sun we need you...
The long white beach was gorgeous, just a shame that there seemed to be a lot of litter washed on the shore!!! Shame. We stayed one road back from the beach, great spot. Bars one side and beach the other.
The next day was still overcast but not raining. We headed to the famous mineral mud baths!!!! It was cool, apart from they tried to put us with the fattest hippo dude. We were not spending our romantic 20 minute mud waddling with THAT! After a little gentle persuasion we ended up with our very own tub. We got in and then the mud came. Gallons of glorious mud. 2 mins in and we were dunking each other. Yahoo. Next was the high power jet wash, streams of powerful water hit us from every angle! Then it was the hot 45 min mineral bath, lovely. Then finally we were allowed to swim for as long as we liked in the mineral swimming pool which was 38 degrees!!! Thank god it was overcast!!! Oh yeah, we even had a waterfall massage. Bliss.
We got to know the happy hours of Nha Trang so ended up getting drunkard for very little. Cool. The Sailing Club was the hip and happening place. Beautiful bar right on the beach.
The other highlight was Mama Linhs boat trip. The boat took us around 4 islands off the coast of Nha Trang, the best bits being the 'floating bar'. This was cool, they throw us in the sea with a rubber ring, our guide 'Dat' gets in his ring with a bar on toe and we spend a happy hour drinking Mulberry wine bobbing in the sea. It was a hoot! This would definitely not be legal in any western country!
Next was our favorite bit, the 12 hour night bus journey to Hoi An. There wasn't an empty seat on the bus (which was filled with spluttering locals), we never slept a wink...
We were now in Hoi An.
