Saturday 17 April -today we went on a city tour with a guide - our very own and it was good. We were able to ask the questions that we had nơ answers to and get a response.
Visited a mud spa and here is a picture of Patricia in the mud. It was an interesting experience. We followed it with a very strong shower - getting that mud off was difficult. Then we had a hot spring bath which we shared with a young Russian couple. It was enjoyable learning about each other's country. Hey - sâme same but different.
Now, can you even guess what this is????? Well, it's Robert. do you recognise the legs!!!! We visited a Buddhist temple and a monk offered this interesting service where you get gonged. We both enjoyed very much. One of those experiences that will be hard to repeat.
Friday 23 April - we went on a tour of the 4 islands near Nha Trang. Had a fantastic time. Photos below.
Robert jumping off the top of the boat. The idea was then to float in a floaty and enjoy a cocktail. Patricia managed to capture one of the jumps!!!
We visited an Aquarium on the island and this is the view from the top, of the local fishing boats in the harbour. They are very colourful. It's a treat to see them going out to sea at sunset, all in convoy. And then the horizon is lit with the lights they use to attract the fish, when the sun sets.
A Turtle and a Groper at the Aquarium.
The first hotel we stayed in at Nha Trang, St Paul's, had this amazing restaurant at the top for breakfast. It had sliding windows and was very breezy. The waitress didn't put the menu on the table, she held it while you looked.... and then most of the items on the menu weren't available. But she was so gorgeous and friendly, we didn't mind. When we say gorgeous, she had black hair greying at the temple. She looked at our hair and said the popular saying in Vietnam 'same same but different'. In other words, black or blond, but we still go grey. Should have taken a picture of her. We got kicked out of the hotel - hee hee!!! Not really, they were full the next night.
Some of the views on our trip from Da Lat to Nha Trang. Mountains, mist and a very windy narrow road. The road was being reconstructed - the whole 100 kms of it so it was a very slow journey. The last picture shows the road through a village. Everything was covered in dust and we felt sorry for the people living there.
