Our train pulled up to Nha Trang station at approximately 5.35 this morning. Van managed to get about 5 hours sleep on the 6.5hr trip, with Matty only getting three due to his Jo Nesbo book being exciting as well as thinking about adventures to come such as paragliding! On arrival at the station we grabbed a cab to our hotel so we could leave our bags there until check in. We then hopped across to the beach, getting there at around 6.30am! We sat on the beach fo...

Day 6 This one will be short and sweet. Van had stomach problems early in the morning and basically ruled us out for the whole day. Managed to extend our stay in the hostel till 5pm which was lucky. Matty went for a walk in the morning to get some legal drugs and then we both rested till 5. Checked out of the hotel, had a drink out the rooftop bar at Caravelle Hotel, ate dinner, shopped a little and boarded our train for an 11pm departure. Matty was over the moon...

And like the sands of a 24-hour glass, day 5 of our trip has reached its end. > Up at 7.10am so that we would be down at breakfast at 7.30 and ready to go by 8pm.

Was very interesting. They had ...

Day 4 Morning activities: - Delightful breakfast at the hotel with some Vietnamese coffee which Matty ranked 5/10. Odd taste but was nice and strong. - War Remnants Museum - awesome activity however still need to figure out why the US of A got involved. We just learnt about the horrible war crimes they committed which were pretty gruesome. - Cathedral and Post Office. - Lunch at a sweet place in town recommended by the hotel boss. Don't really know what I go...

Our day started out with a well deserved sleep in (till ~8.30) after two days of activities. We packed up and went down for a toast breakfast then it was off to flag down a taxi to head to the MBK shopping centre in Siam district. For the FIRST time we got a 'from the get go' honest taxi driver who started the meter without us having to request it. And another bonus, he understood where we wanted to go. Double win. Bought some exercise tops at MBK then went back...
