Blue Bay Hotel Nha Trang

... strip, it's not nice to be honest.<br><br>the hotel is good, but a business, hilton type affair. the sea id all churned up and the beaches covered in washed up **** from the typhoon.<br><br>Trying to find a new place to stay as this place dosen't suit us both.<br><br>on the plus points it's bloody boiling and sunny, so off to lounge by the very fancy pool!

... went for a yummy meal- I had seafood curry- their curries are more like soups. Then we went to a pearl shop and I decided that I was going to buy the whole shop the next day. <br><br>Day two in Nah Trang, we got up for breakfast and then went to the mud baths with Angela, Vikki and Alice!! It was hilarious! We sat in a bath full of muddy slime for about half an hour, it was like being in a big bath- but a lot funnier. We were gonna ...

... or something like that (not that i know what's the word in VNese for hospice but i'm guessing because my source told me so).<br><br>It's raining on and off today so it's gonna be in and out all day. Next entry will be made in Dalat, we should be getting there tomorrow afternoon. We booked our trip by minibus, paying twice the price of a regular bus passage, since this is supposed ...

... in there for some time whilst we had a gentle row around. After a short time, a whole armada od kayaks and small boats made an entrance so we made our way out and headed off back to find our boat.. After dropping off the kayak we boarded the boat and then went for a swim. My first entry into the water was a bit of a mess. I was persuaded to go off the edge of the upper deck, which was, as I found out to be, very slippery due to the rain and also sloping. Approaching the ...

... lived, but we just wandered round oohing and awing and taking pictures of baby animals (pot bellied pigs, puppies, chicks, ducklings). After the tour of the village we went on an elephant ride around the lake and then came back through the lake, it was a little scary, kept thinking the elephant was gonna try and roll in the water. The best bit of all was feeding the elephants at the end. We bought a load of sugar cane for a couple of dollars, and the elephants were like kids, pushing ...

The last day of motorbike sightseeing today. <br><br> <br>Starting with Lon San Pagoda. This was not that good because you couldn't get inside. <br><br><br><br>Then up the 150 steps to the Giant Seated Buddha, which was seated, big and white. <br><br><br> <br>On the way back down I found a reclining Buddha, peacefully sleeping, which I far preferred. <br><br><br>The next ...

... Aussie, Craig and the Canadian guy to get up. Aussie did a bit of a bump and grind....typical. He also had a rat's tail, not so typical! They tried to sing "Summer of '69" but the band couldn't get their act together. <br>Sidebar - Wherever I am in the world, at one point or another I will ALWAYS hear "Summer of '69"<br>Then a sweet Vietnames woman gets up and sings a love song, in Vietnamese. I'm sure it was beautiful. <br>Third stop, the MC says "This is the Floating Bar ...

... mineral water hydrotherapy area (just a wall with water jets spraying at you) and let more minerals soak inwith a 40°C hot poolsoak. We then headed to the pool for a refreshing cold water swim but alas it was another 40°C pooldisguised as a swimming pool! By now we had enough minerals to last us good while so grabbed some lunch and waited for the bus.<br><br>Back in Nha Trang we caught up with Gary again then headed back to our ...

... relaxed, you can tell its a fun place to be. Heard some stories that its a bit of a ghetto, lots of crime, not that fun, beware! I've become sceptical of people who say stuff like that now though. Its kind of that attitude I first had when I got to Beijing. That misconception that its a poor town and people are all there to rip you off and steal your fantastic western goods! People who think that have a very distorted and arrogant view of the ...

... it washed because it was covered in dye, and I decided to order a 3rd shirt while doing so! Nice time management/multi-tasking ;) <br><br>We had a surprisingly nice lunch in a cheap-as-chips cafe, looked into swapping our bus tickets for train tickets, and then had one last wander round ...
