Dos and Dones

We headed for the beach after checking into the Novotel, the room is the best and we got upgraded to the deluxe room with ocean views. That last hotel looks like a mud pit compared to this hotel, we were very happy with it and the service matched. Once at the beach we baked for a while then decided to go for a little parasail which was alot of fun but didn't go long enough. It was very funny because they just hooked us up, no saftey checks just two clips and away we went. The weather turned quite bad in the afternoon so we headed back to the hotel where we used the gym and prepared ourselves for dinner. We went to our trusty Italian for dinner again where the food did not disappoint. We ... read more

We left Mui Ne and travelled by a sleeper bus which was 3 rows of reclined seats with two layers in each row, no air conditioning and about 42 people on board. This was the bus ride from hell, the bus was that bad Kimberly nearly got off before it had even moved. After I talked Kimberly into it we set off on the 6 hour trek to Nha Trang. We arrived in Nha Trang around 8pm where we travelled to our hotel which was called the HQ Apartments and ownded by a very helpful australian guy who gave us advice on where to eat and bars to visit. It was really nice to not hvae to repeat yourself two or three times when we spoke. We went to an Italian place for dinner called De ... read more

Today we woke up to another hot morning but pleasant in this lovely city. Downstairs for a 10am breakfast, Adam gave the fried rice a go before realising it was seafood whilst I played it safe with an egg on toast. We got ready to head to the War Remnants Museum not far from where we are staying in district 1. The museum was a little touching for me at times as they certainly didn't hide anything and we saw many dead bodies in the photos. Pretty crazy what the gas Agent Orange did to millions of Vietnamese and others, there was even a few foetus's that they have preserved that had two heads and mongy faces......pretty hectic!! Was cool to see all the big bombers and the massive guns and bazooka's. We then took on ... read more

So we missed a days worth of blogging due to exhaustion and a well deserved drink. After me being bed ridden all friday I finally got over my 24 hr food poisoning episode which was horrible but done with now. Saturday morning Adam strapped his barely skinned hands with his wraps to go take on Chok Chai for the last time. 10.30 am 35oC I made my way down to see what he had been doing all this time and wanted to get some good pictures on my SLR. I arrived to see Adam dripping with sweat and Chok Chai copping about as much of it in his face as he smashed his way around the ring. From what I saw Chok Chai had obviously taught Adam some great techniques in boxing that he looked super ... read more

8:00am start for Kimberly today with a body fit class, from what I've (Adam) been told it was more a strength session today for the girls. This involved push ups, burpees, planking (not the ironing board style Gen) and use of equipment such as kettle bells and dumbells. I had the chance to have another sleep in with my one on one session with Chok chai starting at 10:30am. It was pouring with rain which I quite enjoyed as we were undercover and the rain cools the air down. I met Kimberly back at the hotel after the session where I had planned to have lunch with her but it looks like she has come down with a mild case of food poisoning so she has been resting for the majority of the afternoon and evening. ... read more

8am start for me today whilst Adam had a well deserved snooze in. I ventured out to the beach today for my body fit class. 18 of us packed into mini van with 8 big tires and ropes, it was a very hot day today with the sun beaming and probably about 35oC at 8am. We got to our destination about 15 mins from the camp and arrived at a set of stairs from here I knew I was in trouble and was getting a little nervous as I was still so sore from training on the previous days. I did not know how I was going to do this! First exercise was carrying a tire above your head and running up two flights of stairs then at the top 10 squats then repeating that 10 ... read more
