Nha Trang and Mui Ne - Vietnam

The first 2 pictures are of us in Nha Trang, it's a beach destination, however when we were there it was rainy and overcast so there is ONLY 2 pictures of all of Nha Trang. We found a great hotel for $10/night with AC, TV with HBO, and Wifi... Since it rained we spent a lot of our time watching TV. We also found a great little street food vendor that sold amazing sandwiches and other tasty treats for less than $1 each! We ended up eating there almost ever meal for the 3 days we spent in Nha Trang!

Mui Ne, this was supposed to be "the most beautiful beaches in Vietnam", however the beaches turned out to be not so great:( Mui Ne is a small fishing village about 6 hours South of Nha Trang. So, a lot of the beach is covered with dead crabs, fishing lines, and other odd bits that wash ashore. We found a cheap bungalow for $5/night that had really beautiful gardens full of palm trees. So, we spent 5 days relaxing under palm trees, reading, and sunning ourselves. One day we rented mopeds and went to visit the famous white sand dunes, red sand dunes, and waterfall. Our driver picked us up at 5AM for this trip so we could see the sunrise over the dunes.

Las primeras dos fotos son en Nha Trang, en donde no pudimos disfrutar mucho de la playa porque el clima no fue el mejor pero si disfrutamos la comida!
Siguiente a Nha Trang fuimos a Mui Ne otra ciudad en donde supuestamente la playa era la mejor pero no fue asi, de todas formas encontramos el hotel mas barato en todo Vietnam e hicimos un par de tours alrededor. Vietnam en genreal es un pais que vale la pena conocer.

Riding the dunes!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The Red Devil Caves"



The red dunes, we met this little girl on the left. Her name is Ba, 6 years old, and fluent in English. She spends her days at the dunes trying to get tourists to rent her sled for the dunes.

The river leading up to the waterfall! The river was not deep, 1/2 a foot at the most and the landscape was spectacular along the way!





The 20 minute walk down the river lead us to this waterfall!

Found 2 bunches of FOUR leaf clover bushes!!! What a lucky bush!
Our favorite crab that kept us company at our bungalow.....at night he did laps around the deck.
