... to do all I could to make things better. This involved buying sea food at the market and letting her cook for me. So we spent a whole day at her parents house and she couldn't have been happier. She is a really good cook and I actually enjoyed the day there. <br><br>I'm not sure why things have been so crazy between us. Is it the language and culture barrier? Or are we just plain incompatible? I'm not sure, but I ...

... leaves your skin and hair felling absolutely scrumptious! It was a very relaxing although a little bit girlie, way to spend a day. Totally worth the hours it took to find and the pushing a motorbike 3kms journey home!<br>We had a very drunken evening out, with the girls 'rebelling' and insisting on staying out and drinking too much (no surprises there then). The boys had discovered the 'backwards video ...

... and having to push the bike to a garage, for it then to snap again after being replaced with one too short, the fact we managed to get here in a day is an achievement.<br><br>We are staying in a hotel, on the top floor with a balcony that looks out over the most beautiful view in the morning! Sandy beach, palm tree's and the sun rising over the crystal blue Pacific. It is a really cheap hotel, because we are not staying in the tourist part of the town ...

... to this island is by a cable car that stretches from Nha Trang over to 'VinPearl'.<br><br>We took an all day tour of the islands surrounding Nha Trang and went snorkelling again.

... he and his mates visited often, and I think he said he came to know the owner. Years later, back in Madison, he got to know neighbors a few doors down the street, one of whom (Thuy) happened to be Vietnamese.

... known for sightseeing, but much more as abeach resort. Is definitely quieter than Hanoi, and busier than Hoi An, but is very, very touristy and isn't that great to just walk around. Think Marbella, sort of. Just in Vietnam.
