Nha Trang - By the beach

NHA TRANG - 23/03/07 to 25/03/07

This place is fabulous. Nha Trang is a city right on the beach. After a hectic schedule of sight-seeing in Vietnam, now it was time to relax. We spent the day on the beach underneath a grass umbrella, swimming, drinking fruit cocktails, having massages and manicures and eating lobster. We felt like we were celebrities being waited on hand and foot. However it was totally within our budget. Our seafood came from a lady in a conical hat who was selling platefuls of seafood, including lobster and crab for 150 000VND or $12.50 AUD. Bargain!

The Sailing Club is where we spent most of our time. It’s this massive, beautiful open bar and restaurant which extends out onto the beach. It is, in all senses of the word, PERFECT! Later on in the night, the music gets pumping and turns into a bit of a nightclub. After having dinner, we couldn’t help ourselves and we bought 2 bottles of Australian wine, and then proceeded to order buckets of cocktails. OMG….we are nursing killer hangovers today!!

Anyway, we have just arrived in Ho Chi Minh City after our early flight from Nha Trang this morning. Only 2 days in Saigon, than its back to Bangkok for 3 days.

Ciao for now.

Fresh seafood for a bargain price. We had lobster, bugs, Vietnamese prawns and crab, it was delish!

Cocktail Buckets at the Sailing Club
Made from potent local spirits, these are the reasons why we are feeling less than average today!!
