It doesn't get much better than this!
Hi All

I'm just back from 2 days of bliss on Whale Island. Since the last time i wrote the group did a long train journey from Hoi An to Nha Trang (10 hours!!). We kept ourselves amused by creating a pub quiz for the rest of the group - Ross and I being the quizmasters - i think we did a pretty good job! We didn't get to stay in Nha Trang for long which was such a shame as it looked so much fun - definitely one of the better places to party (we still managed a quick bucket of cocktails though!)

Whale Island is a very small private resort with about 20 or 30 beach bungalows so there were only a few other people there who weren't on our tour. It was bliss to lie on the beach after quite some time in the busy vietnamese cities. The pictures do not do the place justice at all - It was paradise!!!

In the evening there wasn't much to do so we got drunk and played drinking games (as is now becoming the norm!). I certainly learnt a lot about all of them in those 2 nights in the game "I have never..."

Unfortunately there were quite a few bugs etc. had to share my shower with a scorpion and lots of geckos as well as the usual cockroaches. The preying mantis was a bit of a surprise though!

So we came back to Nha Trang for a few hours (and another bucket of cocktails at Crazy Kims) before heading to Saigon on the night train.
