Straight out of Nha Trang and on to Mue ni

We didnt like Nha Trang - it was like a big city on the beach. It's the closest beach to Saigon so i guess is busy. We just spent one day there lying on the beach and then out for 2 4 1 cocktails in the evening at a bar called Crazy Kims - which was a relly good bar as its aim is to stop paedophilia, and they have a free school for the street kids. So Cheers to a good cause!

HAPPY EASTER
Hope you all have a good easter weekend. No chocolate eggs out here but Chris did buy me the only chocolate bar he could find!

We left Nha Trang yest am taking a coach to Mue Ni - supposed to be a 4 hr coach journey - but we are begining to get used to the way things are run so we left at 7.30 am and arrived at 12.30. The coach is cleverly run by a tour company - when you arrive in Mue ni you arrive at one of the tour company's hotels, where is you want to go onto your hotel you have to wait 1 hour! even though its only just up the road. In the meantime they try to show you a room sell you food etc. Clever business.

We waited and are now in a resort so small they dont even have a restaurant!
Mui ne is lovely, it used to be a small fishing village and due to its high wind levels now is host to lots of windsurfers and kite surfers.

This morning I watched a beautiful sunrise. The beach unexpectedly was teaming with life. Fishermen were out on their small round boats, and were dragging their nets in. People were jogging and swimming and watching the sun.

The sea is flat calm and bath water warm in the morning and then the wind picks up around 11am and the waves start rolling in - they keep going until sunset. We have spent about an hour today being thrashed about and dragged under in the waves - good fun until it hurts! bloodshot eyes filled with sand! nice.

Tomorrow we hope to have a kite surfing lesson. When you see the proffesionals at it all day it makes you really want to do it. But in reality our lesson willl be mainly learning how to control the kite rather than surfing the waves.

Tired and sunkissed now. What a way to spend Easter day.

Missing you all
Big Hugs

Anna + Chris
