Nha Trang

Got into town around 1pm and bypassed the touts and went to a hotel some Aussie chicks had recommended, right across from the beach for $6 a night between the two of us. Tzion decided to skip through Nha Trang as he was on a tightish schedule. Val and I then hit the beach, and were quickly inundated by ladies selling fruit through to sunglasses and many pamphlets were given to us. Very annoying. In the water was ok and I'm not big on sunbathing cause of my pasty complexion.

Hired a couple of push bikes and went for a spin down the beach front to a promontory for some views. Then headed inland to a Cham tower (native people of Central Vietnam), made for a couple of nice photos. Headed back into town about 5ish, the traffic was a bit crazy. Booked a boat tour for $6 for a day and a night bus for the next day up to Hoi An.

Had a nice dinner at a fancy restaurant, cost about $4 US with a beer. Went out to a bar and had a couple of drinks.

Got up and packed and left our bags at reception, went and had breakfast (my usual Nam breakfast of fried eggs and a bread stick). Then into a minivan and off to the boat dock, where we hoped on a large but crowded boat, which had a mix of Vietnamese, Asian and Western tourists on board. Boat was pretty slow but our first stop was not to far, went for a quick snorkel but the gear was rubbish so just had a swim for the most of it. More boat transport and a stop for lunch which was cool, we ate on the boat around a big table they set up on deck. Had to use chopsticks though and I'm no master, All the Asians and those other proficient in the art of chopsticks were laughing at me and another English dude. After lunch No. 4 (boat name) busted out there instruments and put on a show was hilarious. Then after that we had some fruit wine while floating on Life preservers. Then it was onto our third stop at a resort. Kicked back on the beach, then ate fruit on the boat. Then on to our final stop at an aquarium. Which was ok.





Then back to Nha Trang for some dinner and then onto the night bus, where we medicated ourselves in preparation for the 12 hour overnight trip. I was out for the whole thing was great, cheers Val for the pills. Woke up feeling good in Hoi An.
