Nha Trang

The white lettering on the mountain is Vinpearl. The tram takes you across the ocean there.

Really cool boulders I climbed to the top of

So far this is and will be our longest stop. We are in the beach town of Pha Nang and it really is nice. We are staying at a place about a five minute walk to the beach. There's lots if good food around and the weather now is really ideal. We have spent a couple days just lounging on the beach enjoying the sun and warmth again. We even sprung for some shades chairs one day and I sat and read my book while kicking it by the ocean. 

Yesterday I went for a walk and went to a point that had these giant boulders. Naturally I was intrigued. I got to go climb around on them for a bit. It was really just a nice walk. It's been nice to really relax. You move so much and are always going to different places or points of interest you forget what it's like to unpack and be able to just hang out for a while. Nha Trang wasn't a bad place to do it. There are a lot of Russian tourists this time of year. I would want to escape the weather too though. 

We have a little over a week to get to Saigon where I catch a flight to Nepal and trade this weather for some trekking through the Himalayas. I am definitely trying to

Take advantage of the nice weather while I have it. 

We spent just shy of a week in Nha Trang and I am on the bus headed to the next town now. Yesterday we went to Vinpearl land. The closest thing to Disneyland they have in Vietnam. Not to say it was close though. To get there you take a sky team across the river to an island. Gives you some really nice views. The park itself had immaculate grounds and ridiculous views of the ocean. The backdrop from the rides was the ocean the highlight was probably the water park. We met a Vietnamese guy named William. He was terrified of the rides. We finally got him to go on the Alpine coaster because he could control his own speed. He bought his pictures and it shows him completely focused on the track with his brake engaged and like three people piled up behind him. He was quite proud that he made it down though.  He was a really nice guy.

The aquarium had a conveyor belt going through it. 

Next stop is Mui Ne. More beaches and even some sand dunes. Should be fun.
