Que Huong Hotel Nha Trang

... but things got crazy and I could not risk bodily harm to myself or to Lam. My only hope now is to sneak away when she is not looking. Something I desperately did not want to do. I can't believe I got myself into this situation. But I take full responsibility. At least now I am away for a good 4 hours a day. That makes it bearable. I have told the hotel people what is going on so when I do run for it they will be prepared!<br>

... email from an old friend. My very first traveling adventure was for three weeks in Mexico at a Spanish language school. While there I met Renata from Germany. She was traveling Mexico and the States for a year. She invited me on the weekends to venture out into the real Mexico and stay in hostels. I'd never done that before. We became good friends and later we met up in Louisiana and Rhode Island. She is probably responsible ...

... br>Nha Trang itself turned out to be this brilliant little beach resort which does some of the best scuba diving in the country. Long golden sandy beaches with clear water and a seabed which drops so fast that your up to you neck 3 meters away from the beach!<br>We discovered that literally everything is negotiable in Vietnam, as after complaining that our cheap windowless double room was too expensive, they dropped the ...

... no mingling with the monks today. We will look outside. And again, it´s all green green green!! The best green a golf course should have! The weather looked a bit iffy and we hoped that Nha Trang would give us sunshine and those " most beautiful beaches in the world" The bus ride was smooth again and after 3 quick stops we arrived at Nha Trang in the dark. Kissed the Monk goodbye and walked to our guesthouse, which was funny enough named Son &amp; Daughter...!!<br ...

... the hawkers &amp; wished others would go away! Great for food &amp; cold drinks &amp; a massage $5 &amp; got over the book &amp; sunglasses sellers. Water a beautiful temperature, so cooled down as the sun is biting hot! Read &amp; slept - very nice &amp; just what we needed.<br><br> <br><br ...

... look around whilst the passengers in groups were verbally molested. <br><br> I ended up getting into a guest house after a women offered me a room with all amenities for $9 a night. Wicked I thought. Not so. I snoozed for a time and then awoke to see the AC had no connections through the wall, it was an ornament. Likewise with the TV. No channels, just fuzz. Hot water was my next point of call. Oh no, they have brown cold water but ...

... said that he enjoys eating chicken embryo. That&#8217;s right. It&#8217;s just an egg. It&#8217;s an egg that started to grow. The chicken has bones but is not fully developed. Basically you have to suck out all the bones and eat the left over parts. It just grosses me out thinking about it. <br><br>After class we met up at the Red Sun which is a local bar then set off for dinner. We again went to Same same but different. It&#8217;s that good of a restaurant that ...

... 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. For the last three days we have been hounded... and I would go as far as to say stalked by Mr. Hai and Papa Hanh, both hungry for the business. In the end we decided to book with ...

... losing it and calling herself all sorts of bad names. I calmed her done and we ran to the bus company&#8217;s office and retrieved it. We were pretty fortunate that the bus driver cleared the bus before leaving town. Anyways, Sarah may proceed with her recounting of Nha Trang. (Back to Sarah) <br><br>We spent almost a full day lounging in tubs of mud (yay), immersing ourselves in boiling hot water (seriously, like 40 degrees centigrade), and dunking in various fake waterfalls ...

... and some went for a ride in the fishing baskets -- round bamboo craft we had seen on the Amazing Race. Back to shore and motel. Went for long walk down the foreshore looking at the new year's eve preparations, and trying to find the post office. Rest, then a New Year's Eve dinner with Roberto, Franca and Cornelia. Adjourned for coffee. Mandy wore her new Ao Dai and looked great. Ate tea to the sounds of the Carpenters, Nilsson, the Eagles, and Abba! Not very Vietnamese.<br>
