The past two days I've spent on the beach in Nha Trang. The hostel is really nice, the ladies who run it always remember your name. The included breakfast on the rooftop is also great!
I've become rather red from lying on the beach even though I stayed under a sun umbrella. The water is lovely and a bit wavy with views across to the Vinpearl water park and amusements park. £15 seems just too expensive in my new economy while a beach bed is just over £1. A long cable car connects to the island of Vinpearl.
I would say Vinpearl would be mainly populated by Russians as most of this town is. They have charter flights from Moscow and a lot of Russians own hotels and restaurants here. Shop signs are often written in Vietnamese,English and Russian. Of course because we're white they keep trying to speak to us in Russian and invite us into their restaurants. They also love to pose on the beach for photos!
One day was a little overcast so we went to the nearby Thap Ba mudbaths. I'm not sure if they truly have any health properties but it was fun and refreshing. After the mudbath you get into a mineral water pool and then shower off. You can then swim in either the hot or cold pool and go in the jacuzzi!
Triangles...hmm...
"What's your feeling on triangles?", an English guy at the hostel asked me as I filled up my water bottle.
I told him I preferred circles as there is only one type of circle. But he replied, "Ahh, but how do you know a circle is really a circle? How can you trust a circle?".
I'm sure he wasn't on drugs as he and some others were about to motorbike 3 hours to Da Lat on very windy roads!
Tomorrow I'll get the overnight bus with two Canadians girls I met last night.
