Being By the Sea and Feeling Special
... Tomorrow, after a mystery breakfast I'm going to head down to the sea-shore for one last cell-phone photo shoot. In the afternoon we're catching the southbound train. Soon we'll be with the Western horde again and Quy Nhon will be just a fond memory. ...
The Crash
... . It was funny really, in a strange sort way. So there we all were, standing on the side of this highway in central Vietnam at 5am, about 3 hours from Nha Trang. The worst part, probably even worse than the crash itself, was how the Vietnamese bus staff ...
What a Ride!
... baguettes, and eating overlooking the turquoise sea was magic. Buu had confirmed the night before that the coast road continued all the way to Quy Nhon and that it was very quiet and beautiful. It was great to be on the road by 9 and to set off riding ...
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside
... , unfortunately missing out Saigon and the Mekong delta. Hopefully holidays in the future can cover that! Our first stop then in Vietnam was Quy Nhon which was straight across from Ban Lung on the coast. We were looking forward to some beach time as our ...
The few days at Qui Nhon...
... 50,000 in my hand, we settled at 60,000 Dong. The bus was already full, but there isn’t such thing as a full bus in Vietnam. I piled in the back with a middle aged woman half way on my lap, an older lady against the window on my right, a middle ...
Quy Nhon

City of love x x x

Barbara the Shining Light of Quy Nhon
Our second stop on the journey to Nha Trang was at a small coastal town called Quy Nhon (pronounced Wee Non). We had read in the Lonely Planet that a small backpacker haven could be found in the shape of a cafe run by a Kiwi woman called Barbara. All ...

High fashion and hospital in Hoi Anh
We sat on the bus for four hours to Hoi Anh and poor Jesse was starting to get really worried about not having his rabies vaccination. When we arrived in Hoi Anh we decided to book into the An Phu hotel which was really beautiful and cost us a fraction ...
Same same but different Vietnam

Looking for adventure

Quy Nhon
... real quick, but got on the bus just find. It was a long 6 hour bus ride, but we stopped a few times. Once we got to Quy Nhon we found a place to stay on the water front. We ventured out to find some food and saw a few sites. We saw two pagodas (nothing ...

Quy Nhon
Da haben wir ein kleines Paradis entdeckt :-) Quy Nhon liegt wie Nha Trang an der Kueste des chinesischen Meeres, ist aber noch voellig ohne Tourismus. Kilometerlange einsame Straende, schoene Promenanden und ueberall hat es Fischerboote. Die meisten ...
LEAVING ONE MORE COASTAL TOWN
... view the town by bike and still leave time for a Cham tower. The Cham people lived for a thousand years in the stretch of Vietnam that extends from Da Nang in the north to just short of Saigon in the south. In the 12th century they got displaced and ...
we love being 'first class'
... despite requesting for a sweet as sugar upgrade. Going through security Karen forgot to take out a letter opener (or Sword, as Vietnam airlines called it!) so we had a bit of trouble going through security. They were great though and put it ...

Quick stop
We took the train early in the morning from Nha Trang to Quy Nhon, which is a few hours north by train. We had booked "soft seat" class which were fine given that it was only a very short journey. After arriving, we stashed our bags and belongings at one ...

The Adventures of the Quy Nhon Xe Om
... open up and get us a room. We slept in a little late this morning, and spent today walking about with another British couple. Quy Nhon is not really a pretty town, but it is fairly interesting for a couple of days I guess. Its more of a working ...

Beautiful but boring!
... we were getting pretty fed up with bus journeys so we decided to break up the trip to Hoi An with a stop in Quy Nhon. Quy Nhon is apparently an up and coming beach destination and although the beach did look quite stunning it is advised that people don't ...
Happy(ish) New Year!!

"But no matter, the road is life." - Kerouac
The rain died down, so I took a stroll out to the sea wall. As I watched the waves curl in and come crashing to the sand I had another one of those moments. One of those moments where you stop for a second and think about where you’re at, ...
Happy when it rains?
Finally made it to the beach resort of Nah Trang after a really comfortable night bus, despite all the warnings. The local bus was fine. Tourists seem to be farmed off into their own special buses. We aren't even told about local buses. But they do ...
Poo on the beach and shaking bunk beds
... just tell me how long the ride will take? It's not like I've got a choice. Grrrr. I stayed in my first dorm of Vietnam and other than the story to come later the place was really nice. A bit too much on the backpacker fare, not everyone has ...
Wee yon sucks!
Our bus abandoned us in a petrol station somewhere out of Quy Nhon. We managed to negotiate a moto-taxi each. Normally they put your backpack in front of them, between their legs and resting on the handle bars, but the bikes seemed smaller, or our packs ...
Back to the Beach
... bowl of soup. Very good. No chicken down here though because of bird flu. Or eggs. Lame. Interesting being in southern Vietnam though now. I have noticed the difference in speaking to some extent. North and south speak a bit different. The country ...
