Spring Break 2005, Nha Trang

Digging, trekking, and diving through S. Vietnam
... dip in thermal hot springs. Although Ed has dived some exotic destinations on this trip, funny enough, the diving off the coast of Nha Trang was one of his most memorable dives ever. Not because of the coral or crystal clear water, but because he had a ...
Diving in Nha Trang
Much of the diving in Vietnam is done off the coast of Nha Trang. There is a marine park here and the multitude of diving schools are very competitive with their pricing. Seeing as it had been a while since my last dive (thirty four months) I opted for ...

Back to The Beach

Nha Trang - like Rhyl but with sun
The fan and air-conditioning cut off at about 7am (today there would be no electricity until 6pm) which prompted us to wake up as the heat became stifling. Breakfast was included in the room rate so we ordered an omelette and baguette for Andrew (still ...
Beaches, Buddha and Boozing

Singing boat trips
Nha Trang, the holiday resort for Vietnam. A sort of Blackpool with endless hotels and restaurants, but here they have a great 6km stretch of sandy beach and good swimming. The downside is the place is over-run with touts, they will tout you in the ...
On The 8th Day God Created Breakfast At Mandara
12/1/04 Another day, another flight. We were to catch the 2.20pm flight to Nha Trang, Vietnamķs foremost seaside resort as well as being a former US airbase. Well, it was supposed to be the 2.20pm flight til we looked closer at the tickets which ...

A Very Different Vietnam
... that's good for the Vietnamese restaurateurs because they can make more money cooking the home-away-from-home grub that Westerners demand. Nha Trang is so unforeign that you could probably spend an entire week here and the most foreign thing you'd have to ...

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside

Lorna's got a hangover!!!
Today was a Do-Nothing day as Lorna was just about dead!! I went for breakfast across the road for a big fry-up at about 10.30 - but strangely, Lorna wasn't interested. She stayed in bed until I got back. I managed to haul her out of bed and get her ...
