The scooter gang

VIETNAM | Saturday, 11 July 2009 | Views [1095]

As the saying goes, when in Rome do as the Romans do, it seems that when you are in Vietnam you do as the Vietnamese, so we did.... After parting with a whooping 100,000 Dong ($6.50), we hired a scooter for the day.

Now although scooters are a little dorky back home it seems you arn't anyone until you are cruising around in one of these bad boys. So once we were fitted out with our safety gear (a helmet each) we joined our scooter gang of Dan, myself, Nick, Imbi and Sue. Our first stop was marble mountain, it not only has a fantastic view from the top but has buddist temples, buddas, caves and a thousand steep steps to the top... It was beautiful.

The second stop was China Beach for lunch and a swim. Our third stop was Hoi An Beach before we headed back home.... It was a great afternoon of cruising around and a well earned brake from walking...
