Nha Trang

---

Hi All,
Rather than catching a jolting train or a non-sleeping bus for 12 hours, we managed to get a flight from Hoi An to Nha Trang. Luxury...

This is a 'beach bum' city of 315 200. We thought it might be a bit tacky but are pleasantly surprised. We were also worried that our US$12 hotel might be a bit rough, but it is just perfect - clean, bright, fresh air and close to cafes and the beach.

Health Report: TC's cold is gone. LV's bug is behaving pretty much (fingers crossed for no more relapses). Trace - must have been that chicken, cos we haven't eaten dog... that we are aware of!

We walked along the beach - less rubbish than other places - and we plan to eat some of the delicious-looking crustaceans (lobster, crabs, prawns...) being barbequed by the locals on the sand tomorrow.

We seem to be following Vivien and Alan, but not quite catching up to them.

Julia - we hope you are mending. Vince says you can still drink that promised champagne with one hand!

We can't put pics on here because the USB port doesn't work. Next time - from Dalat.

We're off to le Petit Bistro for a French cheese board and glass of Bordeaux (we're still full from our delicious lunch).

Thanks everyone for your messages, but we'd like a lot more please. It's always nice to feel loved / missed...

Love to you all,
Us2

Hi gals - not sure if 12 days up in Northlands Sandy Bay, 3 days Kinloch and next week Ohope rates the same as what you're doing - but it's a fantastic summer here! Sad day in NZ though, guess you've heard Sir Edmund Hillary died yesterday. Keep eating your way around the country - what a way to go! Jx
