Soaking in the sun in Nha Trang

We have just spent three amazing days in Nha Tran and are sad to leave tomorrow. After taking the night train from Saigon and nearly missing our stop at 6 am (language barrier definitely makes things a little challenging at times!) we wanted nothing more than to settle into one of these plush chaise lounges and do nothing but soak in the sun and float in the blue water.

We did as little as possible on this leg of the trip but did manage to spend an afternoon taking mineral water and mud baths, and escaping the boat trip from hell this morning. As a sidenote, if you ever find yourself in Nha Trang, at all costs, avoid the Green Hat boat and snorkeling tour! Don't let their advertising fool you - it's the making for a disastor. It was soo bad that at our first island, only an hour into the tour, we jumped ship and chartered our own speed boat to get us back to the harbour. I think the final straw was when they mentioned the karaoke and dancing that would take place later on.

Another highlight was some delicious Vietnamese noodles at a very authentic sounding place, Pho Cali. Don't let the cheesey Western name fool you, the place was amazing. It also helped us to perfect our chop-stick skills, as you can see below.

Tomorrow, we take the night train to Danang and then will drive to Hoi An where we are planning on spending a few days. It is famous for having tons of tailors and great fabrics, so we are already dreaming of a whole new wardrobe!
