Whale Island Resort Nha Trang

didn't do anything exciting today, apart from try to get rid of my giant insect bite - think it might be a little bit infected as its covering half my leg and is very swollen! the lady at our guesthouse got me some vietnamese ointment stuff for it - hoping that helps!

here are some more photos though!

... where I could pack my bags when she was gone but I didn't do it. Why? It could also be that I have the Stockholm Syndrom, a prisoner who becomes sympathetic to his captor. That is probably more accurate. Either way I'm surprised by this whole predicament.

Another reason I don't leave is that I know she would stalk me. She

... the sandy, coconut lined beach, and splashing in the pool of our cushty hotel, we decided to make a run further south. Unfortunately, our money is running out seriously fast, no thanks to China being a lot more expensive then we anticipated!

Pepper farms, coffee farms, pineapple farms, and rubber tree plantations. Around three in the ...

... pffeef! Then the band played, the drum kit was the best, hand assembled from bamboo poles, buckets, and pans - classic. The guide brought up different nationalities and had a song from each country, pretty impressive. Then we danced to La Bamba and then jumped overboard in floaties and swam up to the floating bar, which was our guide on raft. I'm not gonna lie, that part was really fun. But ten the rest of ...

... to the beach for the day. The beach was beautiful. Really white sand and ************e else on there with us. At one point a fruit seller came over and I told her I wasn't interested. She took this as a challenge though and proceeded to pull on my arm and then whack me on the backside until I got up! We ended up buying a delicious Pineapple to get rid of her!
