Nha Trang diddliang

Have realised that my plan of writing one short para on each day isn't going so well... so here's a brief overview of a few days.

Days 44-48 Having caught another night bus the evening before, we arrived in Nha Trang early morning.
Nha Trang is nice, but a bit Surfers Paradise [in a very Vietnamese way]. Still, it was different to anywhere we have been so far so was good to hang out in for a few days.Highlights of our time there were:
- Chilling out in the mineral mud baths
- Having massages by two little ladies who, at one point actually stood on our backs and massaged with their feet!
At one point, just as I was beginning to really relax, my little lady worked her way up my back with her big toes, dug them into my two top vertebrae and then JUMPED!
Snap went my neck!
AIGGHHH went me!
- Spent a day on a boat: snorkeling, enjoying "free Vietnamese wine" ... mmmm soooo undelicious, laughed as the locals performed some Vietnamese karaoke to a live band on our boat, and went parasailing for the first time - lots of fun, however there was a sudden drop in the wind when Row had his turn and he plummeted into the sea from a height of about 20m! Looked funny, but I was worried - and then, I saw his head bobbing about the surface about 100m from shore - the jetski zoomed up to get him. He was a-ok, and even got to have a free turn! Will be interesting to see if we will be able to have children in the future...
- We also scored some good food there [surprise surprise!] and found a veg restaurant where the two of us could eat and get a drink for just over $1 total!

After a few days, we caught a bus to Dalat which is where we are now. Its nice here - not quite what we expected, but we're going to stay here 5 nights or so. Planning on doing some fun activities over the next few days...
Stay tuned.
