Actually failed this task and went to sleep for 10mins in the training room.Went to the doctors to get GP permission to dive. Had listed a half dozen possible physical and mental problems I had to confess but mostly none of them are ailing me recently. The nurses hooked me up by the ankle http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Vietnam/South-Central-Coast/Khanh-Hoa/Nha-Trang/blog-783540.html I felt a little reluctant to be leaving Hoi An but it was time to move on to our next destination. Our second and final night train journey of the trip was a fair bit shorter than the first at ten hours but the train itself was a little grim. Worn dark wood paneling lined our soft sleeper cabin while the bed sheets one of which had blood stains on it looked like they hadn39t been washed http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Vietnam/South-Central-Coast/Khanh-Hoa/Nha-Trang/blog-783019.html Es ist schon eine Weile her seit meinem letzten Eintrag deshalb werd ich mich ein bisschen krzer fassen mit den nchsten paar Eintrgen um wieder aufzuholen.Wir waren ca. eine Woche in Nha Trang...ausser Essen Trinken am Strand relaxen und alles nochmal von vorne haben wir hier nicht sooo viel erlebt.

After a full day of seeing dead communist leaders going round slightly confusing and strange museums getting bananas confiscated by the dead communist leader or his security guards at least we boarded the train for Sapa. We had booked the hard sleeper for the journey north as it was the only choice available but we consoled ours http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Vietnam/South-Central-Coast/Khanh-Hoa/Nha-Trang/blog-780962.html CHNG TRNH DU LCH BIN V NH DNG NHA TRANGDU LCH NHA TRANG BI DI VINPEARL LANDltstrong stylebackgroundcolor transparent margin 0px padding 0px border 0px outline 0px verticalalign baselinegt Thi gian 03 Ngy 03 mltstrong stylebackgroundcolor transparent margin 0px padding 0px border 0px outline 0px verticalalign baseline http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Vietnam/South-Central-Coast/Khanh-Hoa/Nha-Trang/blog-778289.html BLUE OCEANis the name of the 2013 International Youth Summer Camp in Vietnam.

I didnt feel well when I took a bus from Phan Thit to Nha Trang 250km. I got sore throat headache and feeling dizzy after running around to many places during the past 10 days. Fortunately I found a cheap and clean guesthouse which is located in the center of the city only a few minutes walking to the beach.

You39ll also notice that I39m not really writing about where we are either. We39re still not up to writing the post for Nha Trang yet... oops. There are several reasons for this.Firstly China was a bit of a nightmare with regards to decent internet onnections to the outside world. We found Facebook wouldn39t work and Skype was very sluggi http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Vietnam/South-Central-Coast/Khanh-Hoa/Nha-Trang/blog-774924.html Our next stop is Phuket Thailand And also this is where I made a slight booboo in our itinerary I accidently forgot to book our hostel for the night we arrive WHOOPS. We had to walk the streets of Patong Beach Phuket with all of our shit through the throngs of party and beach goers not to mention all the Thai people advertising ping pong shows. After we found a place to through our backpac http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Vietnam/South-Central-Coast/Khanh-Hoa/Nha-Trang/blog-767428.html After being ushered from possibly the worst overnight bus journey of our lives at 5am our first point of call was to find somewhere to stay have a quick bite to eat and get a few hours shuteye before getting up to explore Nha Trang.As a few of the other guys we have been travelling with had left Hoi An a few days before us we had a good idea of the area we wanted to stay in and had soon secured http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Vietnam/South-Central-Coast/Khanh-Hoa/Nha-Trang/blog-759948.html ltem stylemsobidifontstyle normalgtVietnam is known as the country of forests beaches.

The booze cruise which John give us heads up on was booked for 8.30 didn39t think we were going to make it because we left Ho Chi Minh so late. Got off the bus had an ok sleep apart from the driver beeping the horn constantly and the rubble roads were so load to drive across.

It has been 12 years since my first trip to Nha Trang so things have changed. Another reason for going back was that I wanted to see the sun and beaches. On my first trip to Nha Trang I visited the major sites in the city and three islands then traveled by bus to Lt high http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Vietnam/South-Central-Coast/Khanh-Hoa/Nha-Trang/blog-682545.html On our first night in Ho Chi Minh City our whole group went out for a meal to say bye to the five people who are heading home they were only with us for the Cambodia part of the tour. Getting to the restaurant was a total mission because crossing the road in Vietnam particularly this city is notoriously difficult. They dont really have rules or crossings.
