The huge white buddha is worth the stairs! It was really hot that day but it was worth the climb!

We just didnt see that coming!
Yesterday before we headed off to see the band in the evening we had decided that today we would hire bicycles. So this morning after breakfast we found a bike hire shop (who asked for our passports!) and headed off to our first place of interest- the national oceanographic museum. It took 20mins to cycle there-4/5km. The museum was quite …

Diving in Vietnam
Nha Trang was a great place to relax and we couldn't wait to go diving! After looking around at a lot of agencies, we decided the Sailing Club was the safest bet. They had good references and good prices! At the Sailing Club they said that it had been raining nonstop but luck found us again and the sun was shining bright and hot when we arrived! A …

Sun and Sand
We stopped at Nha Trang for a bit of seaside recuperation. The night bus from Hoi An was less than enjoyable, but the sight of hundreds of people doing Tai Chi on the beach at 5:30 was an interesting welcome. It was a pleasant rather touristy place and full of Russians. There must be some strong tourist links with Russia because there's even a lot …

Vietnam's answer to Disneyland?
Managed a 12 hour stretch on the "prison train" (sweaty, dead dragonflies, a Vietnamese cabin buddy with garlic-flavoured feet) without a bathroom dash. Proud of myself. Arrived in Nha Trang and went to a "Western" restaurant overlooking the beach for breakfast. Never enjoyed toast and strawberry jam so much! Nha Trang is still nice and relatively …
