Normal 0 LUSCIOUS WHITE SAND! ALLURING TURQUOISE WAVES! There’s just something about the combination of these that makes me go weak in the knees. The word beautiful is not adequate to describe this devastatingly handsome landscape of Nha Trang. A sleek, modern city scape runs parallel to the white sands that slope gently into the clear, aqua waters. Dark forest green mountains jut up over the horizon. Nha Trang transformed us from thrifty backpackers to indulgent revelers without even asking for our consent. We ate delicious food, partied like rockstars, swam in the sparkling waters, and... read more

Hello Everyone, This blog may be a bit more reflective than informative so I’ll get the info out first and if you want to stop reading you certainly can. After Hue we moved onto Hoi An. It was a really lovely town, very clean with lots of restaurants and shops. The whole river area was lit up by coloured paper lanterns at night – very beautiful. The main attraction in Hoi An are the tailors. Tailor shops line every street and can make you custom clothes in 1 day. Matt and I got sucked in of course. I got 2 dresses, a pair of linen shorts, and a fall coat made. Matt got 2 button up shirts and a long winter coat. We were both very pleasantly surprised with our purchases! From Hoi An we moved ... read more

Nha Trang is well known for its pristine beaches, many beautiful islands and coral reefs providing an opportunity to go diving and swimming. Nha Trang is also a magnet for young backpackers who partake in one of the many booze party cruisers that weaves between the many islands.

Bonjour tout le monde! Nous sommes à Nha Trang à l'hôtel "King Town" (depuis le 4 février), l'endroit de repos préféré des russes! Nous devions être à l'aéroport à 7h pour un vol d'environ 50 min. (sinon 12hrs en train ou autobus ) Disons qu'ici, les choses sont pas mal au ralenti! Il y a la plage, un peu de magasinage et manger! Mais pour David et moi, nous voulons découvrir un peu plus comme: Aller manger au "Lanterns", un restaurant qui prends une partie des profits pour aider les gens moins nantis ainsi que des orphelinats dont moi et David avons visité un. Nous avons bénévolement accepté d'aller passer du temps avec les enfants dans la pagode "Loc Tho" qui s'occupe des orphelins et donne aussi des cours de niveau primaire pour les enfants dont ... read more

We arrived in Nha Trang on Sunday night the 29th and got a lift to our hotel for free. When we arrived to check in they didnt have record of our booking and told us the hotel was full. However they had a spare room at the top of the building if we wanted to use that for the night. With it being late and being on the bus for 10 hours we accepted it and took the lift to our room. It was basically a room on the roof with 3 beds in. The roof offered good views of the City but after a few minutes we just wanted to sleep the days travelling off. We woke quite early and planned to just travel around town until we could get in our booked room at ... read more
