Amber and I left work on Friday and caught the sleeper bus up the coast to Nha Trang, probably Vietnam's number 1 beach resort. I slept very little on the bus but still managed to get on a boat at 7.30am and spend the morning snorkelling. It is a nice place, a pretty big city by the sea with a lovely white sand beach. It was much bigger and busy than I had imagined but that has been the themeof my whole trip really. The snorkelling was good and and well organised but the water was not as clear as in Malaysia and I didn't see as many fish. Amber was completing her Open Water Diving qualification and her instructor Han was really friendly and took us out in the evening to a cool restaurant where you make your own spring rolls...lots of herbs, pork and rice paper.
on Sunday I spent a day on a sunlounger reading my book...bliss. After a week at work I felt that this beach day was a deserved one. Nha Trang is actually full of Russian tourists and there are many direct flights there from all over Russia, so I was a lone Brit on the beach .I ended my day with a lovely sea food meal.
I caught the non sleeping day bus back to Saigon on Monday and ironically managed to get in quite a good nap.We stopped off at the smaller seaside resort of Mui Ne before reaching Saigon in the early evening.
There is no teaching this week because all of the children have exams so I shall be spending lots of time in the therapy room.The moany volunteers have left and so the atmosphere is good. Nhi invited some of us to her aunt's for delicious Bahn Xeo this evening and we are planning some other post work excursions later this week.
