La Suisse Hotel Nha Trang

... traffic at all. even flights were diverted or canceled. So what to do?? At least the weather clearde up, so we rented another scooter for the day and went up North of Nha Trang. Beuatifull scooter ride and we saw a lot of how nice Vietnam is. Private beaches, and again nice people. Had a beer on a local fisher´s beach, where they grill the fish right out of the sea on your plate as the fish is still " Flippin & Floppin" No a good day mixed with the bad day this ...

... for something to eat & drink. On the way out we picked up our first set of clothes before calling back at second shop. At the second shop the clothes were ready and were really well made – fantastic how quickly they can turn things round and to such quality. Spent quite a time there and also ordered some additional clothing – one shirt to be delivered to the hotel next morning at 6:30 before we left and the rest (waistcoats, trousers) to be delivered to us in ...

... wouldn't see on on the regular tourist track. He got our interest but we weren't yet convinced. We later stopped by Papa Hahns Easy Rider tour booking office and got the spiel from him as well. We decided we wanted to do it... and now just had to decide who to go with.

After dinner, we wanted to meet up with one of Hanan’s co-worker’s relatives (Cuong from Bin Filling has a brother-in-law who lives in Nha Trang), and we had arranged ahead of time to meet him at a local bar called Guava or Mango or something like that. When we met Win, we were surprised at how young he was -- then we quickly became surprised at how much he drank and how much he wanted everyone else to drink ...

... the Sailing Club which was packed full of locals and backpackers making use of the dance floor. A good night :o) We booked a boat tour for tomorrow that sounds promising, four islands snorkeling and moonshine from a floating bar! After the awful Perfume Pagoda tour (in the rain, disgusting food...) I'm a bit wary of groups tours, but I've heard good things about this one so... we'll see. -M

... the hotel, since it was only a block away we figured why waste a good sunset. now, I've heard quite a few bad things about Nha Trang since I arrived in Vietnam. People keep telling me that it is a trashy city, and that you only go there to party, but I am finding to be a really nice town. The beaches are beautiful, and the city really has a nice charector to it. It's true, there is a little more partying to be done here, but our evening ...

... tour office in the centre of town. Mmmmm, well worth getting up before dawn for then?!

After a change of bus and me managing to restrain myself from chucking him across the street in frustration we were on our way, an hour and a half late, a record so far on our trip!
