Ocean Bay Hotel Nha Trang

... of other teachers. I told them that I like my ocean front hotel room, thank you very much. I did offer to still do the tutoring and they could compensate me in other ways to be determined. That tutoring starts on Sunday.

I totally love living here. Being so close to the ocean all the time is perfect for me. Best is all is late afternoons on the beach. Everyday begins and ends at the beach. Sometimes I feel like a beach bum, but now that I'm teaching I don't feel guilty. I've been ...

... ror satte igang leran. Luktade inte precis rosor, men kul var det. Flot som en kork!

Efter detta lilla aventyr sa var det dags att ga in i nagot som narmast kan liknas som jetstralar av vatten. Helt ok skont faktiskt, sen var det att skutta ner i en liten bassang med varmt mineralvatten. Oklart om det var det, men alltid skont att ligga och sasa i vatten.

Vattenfallet ja, det var val inte storre grej, ett konstgjort ...

***Having trouble updating photos - will update tomorrow!****

We left for the Hanoi airport at 4:30 am to make it to the one-hour-before flight check-in for the 6:00am flight to Nha Trang. All went according to plan accept for the fact that Carlushka had to do a power squat at the airport bathroom due to the fact there was no toilet seats. It may have been just that stall, but a dead lift squat nevertheless. All went well and we made ...

... to do. Took a taxi and off to the station. A quick coffee and it didnīt look busy at all. As we aproached the counter, the lady looked up and gave us our money straight back!! " Whatīs up?' " No train today, she replied.." " Big Hullicane!! Big wind on track of train, a lot of water !! Okay, so now what?? " Maybe tomorrow, maybe next week!! " Oh no...our schedule is gonna get mixed up here!! We looked a bit panicked around....!!

Well letīs get back to the ...

... every penny, what an amazing experience! There are a bunch of islands closeby so every dive was at a different location. The lowest I got was 18m which was wicked! Had a little troubles with my ears at first but it got better every day. The last day of the course we took a water proof digital camera down and snapped a bunch of pictures, I received a cd so I'll post the photos asap! The plan now is to head to Hoi An tomorrow evening on the night ...

... with it at the front desk, but our memory of the town proved correct and we found it right where we remembered it. We had a fantastic and uber-filling dinner then headed back to the hotel to make the most of the wide screen TVs in our rooms.

After a most delicious sleep in our double king-sized beds, we stopped to grab some of Nha Trang's special baguettes, and then gathered on the beach. The beach in ...

... and get a massage. I spent my last night in town getting drunk at Red Surf Bar with a girl from England named Mary who wants to be a lobbyist, so we had a lot in common to talk about politics, economics, terrorism and all of the spiritual revelations that come with careless and brash bar talk.

I'm spending my last few days in Saigon now, so I'll be wrapping this bad-boy up pretty soon.

... worth more than keeping a few fishermen happy? The reef that we did see was in really good condition. What a waste.

Should also mention while on the subject of diving, that I was viciously attacked by a small orange fish. There I was floating about, minding my own business, and it swam out of its little hole and took a chunk out of my thumb. Luckily sound doesn't ...

... i havd been bigging it up. Lunch was amazing.

Alice's day was a little more relaxed to say the least. got up late, had some breakfast. Spent the rest of the morning relaxing by the pool. being a good girl, it was in the shade. no more burning for me just yet! Went out for lunch and a bit of shopping

Afternoon was spent chilling by the pool in preparation for our next sleeper train jouney to Hoi An.

... on our way, an hour and a half late, a record so far on our trip!

Just to really put a cherry on top of a rather disastrous morning, it starting raining heavily as soon as we got off the bus and walked towards the seating area. Luckily our guide went off to buy us ultra-thin neon-coloured rain ponchos, so all was not completely lost.
