Nha Trang was our beach side stop of the trip. A very popular town for tourists. We spent the day out on the water. Our first stop was a local fishing village on one of the islands, we got to ride on the round basket boats but thankfully we had other people to steer us, it looked difficult! The kids loved us in that village, always running up to us and saying hello.We had swimming & snorkelling off an island but I just swam near the boat and used the boat as a jumping pad. A few of us jumped off the roof of the boat which was wicked fun. Lunch was on the boat, a very tasty seafood buffet. The food in Vietnam has been incredible.
Final stop was at a rock beach where we sunbathed, swam and got massages, manicures & pedicures. I didn't get a massage, they looked every rougher than the Thai ones!
Since it was Friday we decided it was party night and headed out for a few drinks. Found a bar that had happy hour 2 for 1 so I had a couple margaritas there. Then we went to The Sailing Club, a very popular bar on the beach where you can sit and drink on the sand. Music was terrible but had a great night. One of the girls in my group, Jade, knew the owner (the brother of her workmate or something like that) so we ended up getting free drinks all night.
Unfortunately Jade & Sarah got mugged by a transvestite on a bike on their way home from the pub (they were the last to leave). They were ok but Jade's necklace got stolen, she managed to hold onto her bag luckily. Got a phone call at 4am from Sarah (who i was sharing a room with) to tell me to meet her downstairs. Not a nice ending to the day.P.s. that's Leah & Jade in the snorkels :)
