Hello....
We arrived at Nha Trang very late 2 nights ago. It has a really nice beach, but we didn't go yesterday due to sunburn issues... had a walk around the town and had some ice creams and did a bit of bargaining in the shops: got some really cute sundresses. In the evening we went out for food and drinks at "Why Not? Bar" and tried to go clubbing but gave up because it was a Sunday and everywhere was dead.
We booked a boat trip for today, but the weather was pretty dreary this morning so we weren't expecting much, but it actually turned out to be really fun and the weather perked up a lot this afternoon. we visited 3 different islands: firstly an island with an aquarium on it (the huge fish and turtles were kept in tanks that were far too small for them which was quite sad). then i went SNORKELLING off the boat (even though really scared of the water and kept screaming when my feet touched a plastic bag, much to everyone's amusement!), but managed it! there was coral and fish to look at.
after this we had a massive "family style" lunch where they brought out like a million plates of food and everyone dipped in and shared. it was really nice. after lunch came the "onboard entertainment" - the very (over)confident boat tour leader and his band played some songs, including backstreet boys, when i was required to go up and sing "i want it that way" with him- cringe! he knew a song from every country represented onboard the boat- so one person from each country went up to sing- an israeli, two old frenchmen, a korean, a canadian, an australian and a russian couple! finally we visited an island where we could go swimming and chill out. overall the trip was really good value and we met lots of really nice people from loads of different countries. it was very sunny by the end as well.
tonight, we're going to attempt to go out again; hopefully more places will be open tonight! overnight bus to Hoi An tomorrow YAY...
