At 9am, we were collected by the Mama Linh bus and taken (with about 15 others) to the water. We drove in a large covered motor boat for about 30min to Mun Island where we snorkelled for an hour or so. Next we went to Mot Island where we had lunch on the boat - a huge table that we could all sit around. After lunch, the "floating bar" came out. Basically, a life ring is thrown overboard and the owner of the ship sits in the middle of the ring with bottles of wine and fresh pineapple. Everybody else jumps in the water, also in a life ring, and we sip the wine and pineapple for the next 40mins, enjoying the beautiful weather. Oh it's tough.
Our third stop was at Tam Island, where a variety of water sports are on offer for a fee. We chose to simply watch and eat icecream during the 60min visit. Our final island stop was Mieu Island. Here we visited the Nha Trang Aquarium and saw the usual many fish. The building is another interesting shape - almost as if the architect of the "crazy house" (in Dalat) had been busy here as well.
As we enjoyed the 30min trip back to shore, we all agreed to meet at 6pm at Crazy Kims to have a drink and dinner......sounds like a lovely way to spend our last night in Nha Trang. Will tell you about it tomorrow from Hoi An.
