I’ve spent today on a boat going between four islands off the coast of Nha Trang.\u00a0 It was an amazing day although I think I’ve been slightly spoilt in terms of\u00a0snorkelling in Egypt.\u00a0 I’ve spoken to lots of Australians who have suggested good snorkelling spots where I will be in Oz so hopefully will get my fix there.\u00a0 I’m planning on exploring Nha Trang a bit more tomorrow as I haven’t had a proper chance to look round yet.\u00a0 I want to go to the temple, see the giant white Buddha and go to the natural mineral springs where you can bathe in the therapeutic waters and cover yourself in mud(although someone on the boat trip I was on today went there yesterday and came out in an all-body rash).\u00a0 I spent a lot of today in the sea which was great and am considering heading down to the main beach in Nha Trang for a swim before dinner this evening.\u00a0 We got a traditional Vietnamese lunch on the boat today and I was the only one who couldn’t use chopsticks.\u00a0 It’s getting a bit ridiculous now, I think I just need to conquer my fear and do it.\u00a0 There will probably be some places I go where there will be no option so I guess it’s best to master\u00a0the art\u00a0now!<\/p>\n
I was planning on spending tonight here and probably tomorrow night as well.\u00a0 I was then going to head to Hue by train but have just been told about an amazing beach location about 30km from here and am slightly tempted to head there on the way.\u00a0 This will somewhat thwart my plan to get the train and I’ll probably have to head back here first.\u00a0 We’ll see.<\/p>\n
I’ve just tried to upload pictures unsuccessfully so you’re all going to have to wait a little while longer I’m afraid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
