Nha Trang -- August 6-10

VIETNAM | Wednesday, 6 August 2008 | Views [212]

I arrived in Nha Trang at about 6am.  I'd gotten a map from a tourist bureau in HCMC, so I had a pretty good idea where I was in the city.  I'd also gotten a reccommendation for a place to stay from some people I met.  Who needs the Lonely Planet?!

It took me about two hours to find the place (apparently I need the Lonely Planet...).  An all night bus ride and a two hour search with my backpack in the heat left me pretty tired.  I took a nap.

The rest of my time in Nha Trang was similar.  Which is exactly what I wanted.  I laid on the beach, took lots of naps, and ate lots of food.  I made friends with some people in my guesthouse and had dinner with them.  I found myself playing Ring of Fire with a bunch of British people on the beach and watching the sunrise over the coast of Vietnmam. 

It was perfect.  Relaxing and fun.  I returned to HCMC in much the same fashion as I left.
