So two dáy ago we took the bús from Dalat to Nha Trang, a city situated right by the beach. We arrived at the beginning of the afternoon with Andra and Stefan. We found a hotel and then quickly went to the beach as we were back in the hot climate! Had a quick dip and stayed around on the beach. Sean and I then saw this seafood bbq on the beach. We couldn't resist and went to take a look where the lady convinced us to buy some. We had giant shrimps bbq on the beach. It ứa DeLICIÓUS!! We found out that the next Mís Universe is hosted in Nha Tran in the middle of July. We were all sad to miss it!!
Yesterday, we had booked a boat tour to four different isslands around Nha Trang with Andra and Stefan. We got picked up at 8h30 and went to the port to go on the boat. I met two girls from Montreal and could practice my french :)!! So the host of our boat ýas called "Funky Monkey" and quite entertaining!! Our first stop ýas just a few meters from an island where we did some snorkelling and saw some pretty cool fish and coral. Apparently its even better in Thailand so we are loooking forward to it cuz Sean and I really liked it. We also tested our waterproof camera and it turned out to work quite well!! After that stop, we sailed close to another island where we had a GIGANTIC lunch of seafood and spring rolls (not ás good as yours Janice tho!) and many many other kinds of food! We were so full. Then we had a band entertaining us with Vietnamese songs. People here just love to sing. They all raise their hands to be the next one on the stage and we are all hiding not to go!! Then we had a floating bar in the sea. Third stop ứa at an island where we had free time on the beach. When we got back on the boat, there ứa tons of Vietnamese fruit. It ýas awesome. Then, our last stop ýas at an aquarium tó see fish and turtles, etc.! Then we got back to the hotel and got ready for our night bus to Hoi An (12 hours!). We are sô cheap that we decided not to pay the extra for the sleeper bus!\
I'll continue this post in the other entry so it corrresponds to the right location!
