What an experience this placed turned out to be!!!
We had a great time eating and drinking here and we did lots of that!! The Louisana Brew House was great and drank there a few times while enjoying some food with our passionfruit beer. Yes passionfruit beer!! It is awesome.....the best beer we've ever had!! This place was on the beach and it was nice to sit there and look at the beach huts and the ocean. I got a mani and a pedi for $14 Aus with nail colour and nail designs on all fingers and toes. A bit of a bargain I thought!
We got a moto from our hotel (Ha Van Hotel, a nice room for the money we paid and the service was really good!). We took our moto for a ride around town and went to visit the Aquarium on the main land and for like the $1.50 it was to get it, it was well worth the time and it was really interesting and they have some great marine life there to see. We then got on our moto and headed for the other end of town ( a place that we didn't
see too many other westerners in and definately on motos!). We went to a temple but decided that all the hasselling from the doggy locals wasn't worth it so we got back on our bike and left. We went to a cathederal and it was pretty impressive (from the outside - we missed the opening and closing times), but riding around on our moto was fun anyhow! Paul is quiet the expert now!!
When we were at the Louisana Brew House we met up with a couple from Melbourne - Matt and Michelle!! We had a few drinks there headed out for some more drinks and a meal. These guys were so much fun and we had a few too many drinks but we had an awesome time. I had my first "bucket"!! lol. We moved onto the "Why Not Bar" and had a few more drink and met a couple called Katrina and Michael from Germany (I think!) We sent the night drinking and laughing. Then we befriended a few people from Yorkshire (George & I can't remember the other two's names) but they were a hoot!! We had a couple of "few drinks" which I think may
have set us all off on a drunken frenzy of funess!! We left that bar went to the Sailing Club for a bit of clubbing! It wa fun!! I have no idea when we got home but along the way we were mugged (nothing was taken and we are both ok), luckily we had everything down our shirts and pants but we had to fun from these people all the way back to the hotel. It was very scary! Needless to say I had a killer hangover the next morning.
So with the killer hangover we headed to Vinpearl Island Theme Park. About $17 to get in for the day and well it's worth it for the day out. There are water rides and we went on a couple of them which were fun, we headed for dry land rides then and did this one that was the worst ride I've ever been on.....it tips you upside down in the air and all my blood ran to my head and with the killer hangover lasting all day it wasn't that great! There was also a games arcade that was huge with so many games. It was heaps of fun.
Paul, Matt, Michelle and Me
Having dinner and a few drinks! There is also a bit Aquarium on the island and it's a bit like underwater work in Australia and we loved going to that. All these rides and the aquarium are all free to go on and in, it's only the one price you pay initally which is a bargain we thought.
Our next adventure in Nha Trang was to take a snorkelling trip for the day. We went to 3 snorkling spots and the marine life was great. Lots of fishes and coral and even an octopus and Paul saw some nemos!! Oh and jellyfish.....lots of them! Lunch was an experience, there was so much food and well there was alot left over but for bugger all what can you expect! It was well worth it though.
Another early flight the next day (but not only a 5.30am start - thank goodness!) saw us travel to our final destination......Ho Chi Minh and the Mekong Delta.
