Nha Trang, Vietnam : 25 Nov 10

... when you come to Nha Trang make sure you do the island tour ... was the funniest and funnest day I have had for a very long time ... what a hoot!

The whole boat was full of Vietnamese Honeymooners and there were about 6 of us from other countries. The honeymooners were so cute!

We went to the first island and snorkelled ... the visibility was terrible and it was choppy but the water and the view were beautiful and I don't think many of the Vietnamese had been to a beach before and they couldn't swim and a few of them had their masks upside down ... hehe ...then we anchored off another island for buffet lunch ... squid, boar, tuna, cabbage soup, rice, omellete .. was very nice washed down with a beer.

And then the fun started.... the crew were also a Rock Band ... they entertained us and every other country that wasn't Vietnam on the boat they knew a song from this country and we had to sing along ... there was me and 2 other aussies so we sang Waltzing Matilda ... it was pretty sad cos the the V. fellas new all the words and we didn't!! Very unpatriotic!

And then we had the floating bar.... one of the crew stripped off to his swim suit and put plastic cups on his boobs and stood on the floating bar and did this crazy dance.  He was so skinny and it was so funny ... then  we all jumped in the water off the boat and floated around in tyres and got cheery on Dalat mulberry wine :))  Just when we thought we'd drunk the last bottle, out came another one ... I think we drank 6 bottles in total.  Was so much fun!

Then we went to a beach that was rocks not sand and chilled out and then went to the aquarium ... huge fish and turtles and sharks in little teensy weensy tanks ... was good to see the fish close up but very very sad for the creatures.

I'd love to stay in Nha Trang for the rest of my time in Vietnam ... IT ROCKS :)) but will probably only be here for tomorrow and maybe the next day ... will catch a night bus to Hoi An maybe tomorrow night or the next night ... see how I feel tomorrow!
