alwight people. found a hotel that has free internet, and signs warning you to keep your windows and doors locked. seems like good advice considering the money exchange people are even in it for the dollar. we’re in a place called nha trang which is roughly 10-12 hours north of saigon. today we went for a massive wander around and saw a huge white Buddha on top of a hill. also went to a photography gallery which had some really good work in it. i’ve just eaten an amazing steak and chips baguette for about 80p. good day in all.
after saigon we got a bus to mui ne beach (not a spelling mistake), and in the morning went on a tour of the local delights. the sand dunes were wicked. grabbed some plastic and sledged down. enter sandman. then we went to a mini canyon, and saw the fishermans village. that was cool. bare fish. bare eels. bare smells.
by the way, i’ve got so many photos and videos that i can’t really be bothered to upload them all while im out here. its not just that, but it would take ages and the usb connection doesn’t fit my connection. so i’ll do them all when i get back and you’ll have a whole new range of media to laugh at.
tomorrow we’re going to hoi an which is “a place of unique historical charm”. get cultural. do some walking around with a pensive look on the face. getting the overnight train there which should be good. get some local vietnamese whiskey for the journey. after hoi an we’re going to hue which was the capital long time ago. i think 1000 years ago. after that we go into the north to see hanoi and halong bay.
so that’s a run down of the vietnam tour. i’ll keep in touch about the details and how it goes.
