Nha Trang, tick.
Nha Trang was beautiful. Big sandy beaches, coconut trees,
boats, sea food, you get the picture. After being on the go for 10 days,
yesterday was the first day we could really relax. We hopped on a boat and
cruised to a local fishing village where we spent half an hour exploring and
interacting with the locals. We then moved onto another spot to snorkel and play
around in the water. After another enormous lunch we headed for a tiny island
with deck chairs all ready to go. Here we swam, had ice-cream, beer, I got my
nails done and had a massage. And the best part was that we had the whole island
virtually to ourselves. We arrived back in town about 3pm where we preceded to
walk across the road to a lovely bar, located on the beach, where we spent
another few hours watching the world go by.
As we were staying practically on the ocean there was an
enormous array of sea food to choose at meal times. Ian ordered a seafood
platter for the outrageously expensive amount of $5.50 AU. It was nothing like
our seafood platters at home. They bought it out in courses. First we got ½
dozen oysters, pipis and mussels. Then a plate of grilled squid arrived,
followed by tiger prawns, a whole fish and of course rice! After dinner Ian and
a few others went to the ‘ice-bar’, yep they have everything over here. He had a
great time, I went shopping J
Today we drive to Quy Nhon, It’s normally a 4 hour drive but
we have been warned that it could take up to 6 hours because of the condition of
the road after the typhoon.
There was another wedding reception at the hotel last night.
We were very excited, we felt like we were invited guests, we heard all of
it!
Best thing seen on a bike today, a family of five! They are
small, but not that small……
