Alright, It's getting harder and harder to get on the Internet here, this entry is really behind so I'll make it quick.
May 17, we were in Nha Trang for my birthday. It is a really nice seaside city, kind of Vegas-y but we went to a nice restaurant and then out with the group for drinks at the sailing club (a really cool beach hang-out place).
The next day was so much fun, three of us (everyone else was too tired, but then regretted it after) got some motorbikes (we didn't drive them though) and had a tour around the city and then went up to the mud baths and mineral springs. If we had a place like that back home it would cost hundreds of dollars, it's basically a huge spa built into the mountain. There are plants everywhere surrounding minerals pools and waterfalls. You start in these little pools for about six people and everyone climbs in and they just fill it up with this mineral mud. We were splashing and throwing it around until we realized it's not so much fun having it in your eyes and mouth, thankfully there were two girls who showed us where to find water to clean your hands and face. You then shower then mud off and go through this walkway that blasts water at you in all directions and into a mineral pool. Hot then cold, then under the waterfall. After that they just have a bunch of different pools you can swim in.
After a while it looked like it was going to rain, whihch pretty much happened around 4 pm every day, so we went back to the motorbikes. Of course it started pouring on the way back, which is through muddy mountain roads, the drivers were trying their hardest but we ended up cover in mud all over again.
Another over night train to Saigon, hopefully we can avoid these for the rest of the trip.
Saigon was the last stop in the Vietnam trip, we visited the war relics museum which was unbelievably heartbreaking and then it was time to say good-bye to everyone and meet up with the group we would be travelling with through Cambodia.
I only have 2 intenet minutes left so I will finish later!!!

YAY! Sounds like you had a muddy time (ohmygod, what's London doing to me? I've lost my charming wit). So you are finally finished with Vietnam, what was your favourite part? Ben's? CAMBODIA NEXT!! Don't forget about Anklor Wat!
