Day 10 - 23rd June 2013 - Nha Trang

VIETNAM | Monday, 24 June 2013 | Views [385]

I decided to have a lay in this morning. Kevin went for his walk as usual to the bridge. Found out it is approx 4.5 miles round trip. After breakie, which Kevin said his eggs were the best he had ever tasted,  we headed back to Louisiana BrewHouse for our last day of beach relaxation for a while. Made sure we were a little earlier, being a Sunday there were locals everywhere, esp kids in the pool who did not know how to swim and had life vests on. Unfortunately they hogged the steps into the pool and you had to push your way through at times. Kevin watched a girl nearly drown and let one of the staff save her as he walked past. Parents were no where to be seen. Go figure. For luch we decided to go down the path a little to Gorky Park Russian restuarant and Beach complex. Had cold rolls and Kevin had beef papaya salad. Told you Kevin was experimenting. Finished with mango and strawberry smoothies which were fantastic. This complex has only recently been bought by the Russians and is being renovated and will be something once it is finished. Russians have been everywhere in Nha Trang. Back to our lounge chairs for a little more R&R. Kevin said at one stage he was going for a quick dip in sea and after half an hour he still hadn't come back. He had run into Donna and Rob (Pt Macquarie couple) and they had joined him in the sea. Appears Donna was over friendly and kept bumping into him. Kevin could'nt get away fast enough. Headed back after 3pm and Kevin watched some footy - Lions v Cats and I went out to see if I could get the train ticket for our trip from Danang to Hue on Tuesday. Went to an agent and was able to prepurchase which will save us time tomorrow when we get to Danang. Went to the new market area and bought a sundress and another good dress. Went out to Far East Cafe for tea as they had been advertising roast pork, ham or chicken for 59,000 dong which is less than $3. We met Jane and Mark (Brighton couple who have lived in NT for 4 years) who were eating there as well so we joined them. After eating we headed to the Booze Cruise - sports bar which is the place to be seen. Expensive drinks so Mark put them on his tap as he gets local price which is half price. While we were here some of the Hash Hash group - expats that go walking and drinking on Sundays came out of the back room and started talking to Jane and Rob. One of the guys - David Lowe was originally from Adelaide and was a cricket player so he and Kevin chatted for about an hour on their own about who they know and the games they played.
