Day 13, 14 & 15 - Nha Trang
First impression of Nha trang is that it has a lot of natural beauty & very touristy.
After the long day of travel we sought out the local drinking holes the best ones were the louisania brewhouse @ the sailing club. Both had great beers gardens that extended well onto the beach.
On the first day we went to the Mud baths, basically you soak in mud, jump out and let it harden, was it off, then soak in hot mineral baths. A relaxing few hours.
The usual evening activity was to sample a few jams jars at the sailing club, the are either very strong & high in alcohol or they have used flavored metho - judging by the hangovers I had. Also I did notice a bottle shop selling bottles of johnnie walker blue ($300+ usually) selling for $100 - after a bit if googling I realize there's a fair bit of counterfeit alcohol sold in Vietnam, so I decide I'll stick with beer for the rest of the trip.
We also taught an English class one day basically it's just talking to students in English about anything so they improve there skills.
New years eve entertainment was similar to what you'd get at a leagues club back in Oz. Also I broke the above rule about sticking to beer, so had a new years day hangover.
Overnight sleeper train to Saigon was good except for the snorer we had in our cabin (I guess it could have been worse - he could have sniffled). Slept that night with the iPod in.
