Nha Trang, Vietnam

oh no I haven't done this for a while I have looads to do and not much time! Ok well Nha Trang was very nice but essentially just a lovely beach with lots of bars. On Saturday we went to a beach party at the Sailing Club which turned into a pretty strange night as we wondered all over town, stopping at little shops by the road to drink beer and play with tiny baby puppies. Ended with everyone going skinny diping at 4am. The next day was spent in bed and on the beach as we were so hungover. I think mike may have even skipped a meal we felt that bad.
The next day after that (I can't remember days of the week) we went to Vin Pearl Land which is brilliant, if you're going to Nha Trang you should definately have a look. We paid 300,000 VND for the day, plus taxis of about 50,000 VND each way to get to the harbour. It's on an island opposite Nha Trang beach that you have to get a cable car across. Mike wondering if you leant against the doors and they opened if you would die while we were going across didn't help. The theme park is brilliant - there was no one there! At all, it was just us. We went on one of those swinging ship things and both sat at opposite ends laughing at how surreal it was. Then we went on a rollercoaster and at the end swapped seats and went on again, just beacuse we could. There was a huge amusement arcade with dodgems, a 4D cinema and every arcade game ever, all for free! It was also very air conditioned so we stayed in there quite a while. Then off to the aquarium which was brilliant, except mike took far too many photos of the fish. There is a moving walk way where you can go underneath the largest glass ceiling in the world and all the fish swim around you. And then we went to the water park which was the best bit. Loads of slides and rubber rings. Although I got whiplash on one as they are pretty steep. Basically a really good day. In the evening we saw Alex and Ewan (the boys who hired motorbikes in Hanoi and had ridden down Vietnam) and were so pleased they weren't dead we went out for dinner and drinks at Red Apple with them.
Last day in Nha Trang we hired bikes and went up to Cham Towers which were very pretty. Then tried to find a secluded beach but they all had big sewage pipes which put me off Nha Trang a bit. So we went back to the main tourist beach and bummed about there until it was time to get the bus to Ho Chi Minh.
And that is where I shall have to leave it as I need to go and buy some lunch and this internet is very expensive. But we're now in Phnom Penh in Cambodia and still alive xx
