... tour we went to the main Post Office and I discovered that DHL could sent things to the UK for a fraction of the quoted cost. So that's a tip for anyone buying goods and want to despatch them.

I saw the markets and did the other touristy things and frankly was glad to leave the city. The beaches at Mui Ne are supposed to be the best in Vietnam. Howwver the bus ...

Igar hyrde jag och Wille en moppefar att utforska omgivningarna lite. Vi hade tankt att se de stora sanddynorna. Hade inte en aning om vart det lag, en daligt ritad karta var det vi hade att ga efter. Men ivag for vi. laaangt. Tills vi korde forbi en liten kille pa cykel som fragade om vi hade sett "waterfalls". Det hade vi verkligen inte gjort sa ...

... of other tourists and the dunes were just starting to cool down. A couple of pushy kids were trying to act as guides for us, offering plastic sleds to slide down the steeper slopes.. but after observing other tourists giving it a try it looked more like work than fun and we shook the pint-sized guides off to explore on our own. We climbed up ...

... Vielen Dank Lena, fuer den schoenen Zug durch Saigons Clubs- Nun sind wir in Mui Ne, am Strand. Hier ist Ausspannen vom Laerm der Grosstadt angesagt. Heute haben wir uns riesige Sandduenen und leere Straende angeschaut. Alles in allem finden wir es super hier, das einzige was nervt, ist der Verkehr und der haeufige Versuch der Vietnamesen uns abzuziehen. Aber mittelerweile gelingt es uns besser es zu merken. Sonnige Gruesse Matthias und Xandra

... way round it. There wasn't a single soul around, except for the park workers clipping and trimming the gardens. Last night while wandering, we noticed a huge screen in the centre of town showing a programme of some kind or another, but who had the zapper we wondered? Again, there wasn't a single soul watching the thing. There are PA systems mounted on lamposts, which up till now have been playing nice, soothing music. I wonder what else they could be ...

... accompanied by an eleven year old boy that was not exactly enthusiastic about having to make this trip with us. Fortunately the scenery made up for his lack of enthusiasm with red sand dunes, cliffs and other formations on either side of valley that the creek followed. The stream was very shallow and warm and easy to navigate, but the water was red and we could not see the bottom of the stream with even an inch of water. Before we got to the waterfall ...

... phone numbers and it's different in different provinces. so after a bit of walking around we found a cheap spot with a room 30ft from the sea. We spent the afternoon chilling on the sun loungers watching the high tides crash against the shore. the Waves were so high even though we were about 10ft above the beach level and about 20ft away we had to move our loungers back to avoid the spray. 11th Today after getting breakfast we hired a motorbike and ...

... looks like it could tip over very easily. Outside of the town we drove past farms and houses with giant plastic sheets in the sun that have hundreds of drying fish lying over them. The smell of the area was unmistakable rotting fish, which will later get pulped together to make one of the staple ingredients of every South East Asian meal, fish sauce. Mui Ne is also ...

... counting?)! Steak is too filling so I passed on that. Of course I had so many scoops of ice cream that I lost count. SHE SAID: All day Adam was grumpy about being forced into a Christmas dinner after he explained to the hotel that he didn't celebrate Christmas and didn't want to attend. I was worried that he was not going to have a good time and it was going to be a long night. Fortunately the evening turned out great... couldn't have been nicer. The buffet ...

... So I was a little non-plussed, actually ****** off would be a more appropriate description, when after about 5 hours of sitting in the train station swatting bugs and trying to catch a bit of sleep I lined up to buy my tickets with the sharp elbowed grannies and other queue jumping, bad breathed, yelling customers and was told 'Not today, tomorrow'... Guess what word sprang to mind. That's right. 'F***!!' we had booked a room for that night based on the notion that we would be ...
