Sam: Lazy very very lazy, the last couple of days have been. We are staying in a beautiful luxurious resort which includes palm trees, a bar in the pool and 30° C heat. We are right on the beach you can hear the waves crashing while you fall asleep its all very romantic apart from Toad boy only went and got food poisioning (not romantic at all, im telling you!). We think its from some prawns on the first night. We both ate the same but i think nursing has given me an immune system of an ox. S...
Mui Ne, Vietnam gamandsilesWe got up at 5:30 this morning, too early. We had a bus to catch to Mui Ne, an estimated 4 and a half hours from Ho Chi Minh City, at 7:30. We had a bit of packing to finish, then we headed out hoping to find some breakfast and go to the ATM. We found both, but neither of us were feeling all too good, probably from our binge on the buffet last night, so we just grabbed some shakes and toast. We went back to the hotel and the guy asked us to pay before we got all our stuff. He showed us the bi...
Mui Ne, Mui Ne, Vietnam jesseandzoeWe were rudely woken up this morning at 6 am, by guess who, the noisy ladies from last night! Jes got out of bed and opened the door just as one was yelling right outside our room and shh-ed her, I think he scared her straight. We got some broken sleep after that, then decided to get up to go for our included breakfast. Which also turned out to be a let down. It was pretty much a left over Chinese buffet. So we had some fruit and some danishes. We stopped at the front desk and asked if the no...
Mui Ne, Vietnam jesseandzoe... swam out i saw lights under the weather, to start with i thought it was just the moon light reflecting on the bubbles. I soon realised that it wasn't moonlight at all, but lights. Every time i agitated the water these greenish lights would dance around my hands or my feet. I called everyone into the water to have a look. Kira had just read 'the beach' and knew that It was Phosphorescence, an algae that lights up. It only comes ...
Mui Ne, Vietnam emmy-lou... a driver who smelt of last nights liquor and smokes. We ended up getting picked up by one fellow who started us on our trip and as we were drivng he started honking and yelling out the window to none other than our new driver who had slept in. So an exchange occured hung over guy got the jeep and the jeep guy got his motorbike. No we are on our way noooo wait one more stop by his house his mom is waiting on the street with 150,000 ...
Mui Ne, Vietnam, Vietnam mchochimins... more beautiful canyon we passed, but due to erosion that has been closed for a good few years. The red sand dunes were next - this was Muppet heaven and by the time we got there they were packed. They were wet, full of people, footprints, tyre prints and certainly weren't the red windswept sand dunes you think about when you think about the Namib Desert. Unless you like flowing people footprints stay away from this place! We were getting behind schedule - something to do ...
Mui Ne, Vietnam jonclark2000We set off first thing in the morning, after a bowl of frosties of course from Nha Trang - destination Mui Ne. We didn't know what to expect as not a whole lot of backpackers we had met were heading here. The bus journey took 6 hours and we were greeted by the customary sworms of locals trying to sell you everything you could possibly need on a bus journey and more. We had lounger chairs on the bus which was fairly comfy but we were on the top bunks and the bus ...
Mui Ne, Vietnam tommy-elaine... and we wound up eating a ton of squid here. Probably due to the low season effect the restaurant staff were amazingly friendly and attentive everywhere we went. Dining was always a fun experience. - More internet usually. Night time was a bit more reliable than the consistent power supply outages during the day which thwarted our plans on a number of occasions. It's probably a fifty-fifty bet at best at their being any power in the whole town during the day ...
Mui Ne, Vietnam jenandjeffmilum... we stopped to see the contrasting Red Sand Dunes of the area
T o end we then ended up watching a beautiful sunset with a beer and a cup of tea on the beach! A fantastic end to a very chilled few days to set us up to head inland to the mountains and the cold!!
... are able to support yourself (without working illegally) while in the country! So, even though as Canadian citizens we are allowed to enter the country without a visa for up to 30 days, we are forced to jump through bureaucratic hoops to satisfy immigration, the government and our potential employers. Unfortunately, even though China regards Taiwan as a 'rogue' province of the motherland, albeit with its own elected government (what a novel concept), currency, and economic ties ...
