Nha Trang, the Malibu of Vietnam, is where I am presently. Crystal clear, warm, turquoise water is the main draw and the water I'm a big fan of, the town not so much.
Just got back from an island excursion entailing snorkeling around still intact coral reefs with lots of fishies chomping on my pinkies, a floating bar serving to everyone old and young, and a Vietnamese beach spot, with rickety old beach chairs and a rocky shore but very enjoyable to watch older Vietnamese women covered from head to toe being knocked around by the waves but smiling and enjoyng themselves.
Other then the water, the town is super touristy and really caters to the drinking crowds. This is the first town in Vietnam where there are more bars then hotels....I have found one place that has a dark lager, lucky me!
But I think my days in Nha Trang are numbered and I will be leaving tomorrow and onto Saigon.
Happy fourth of July and hope everyone is relaxing with bbq, warm weather, and family/friends!

Hi Jenna,
ReplyDeleteJust got back from Russian River.We all send you our best and we are to see Lilly swim on Wednesday in her class. Speaking of Lilly, Mom may
have told you this so forgive me if I repeat. She went for her kindergarten
tests and one of the things she needed to do was count up to thirty which
she did and then asked the teacher if she would like her to count in
spanish or french. When you get back perhaps you can have count in
vietnamese or in khmer. Keep enjoying the water and snake-infused
dark beers.
