Blogs from Mui Ne, Binh Thuan, South Central Coast, Vietnam, Asia - page 34

First impressions of Mui Ne weren't great - we got settled into a guesthouse near to where the bus dropped us off and headed out to get some food shortly later. The problem was that the nearby restaurants didn't seem to have any food. Pretty much everything we ordered was "finished" and what we finally got wasn't great.
