Nah Trang

We travelled in another 'sleeper bus' arriving in Nah Trang last night around 6.30pm
Having looked in the lonely planet for which area we wanted to stay in we took a 5 min taxi ride and had a choice of  about 6 guest houses in a small road just off from he sea.
We got a room in a place that had only been opened for 2 months, so bed and linen etc all new which is lovely for $12 a nught, thats about 8 pds!! ridiculously cheap.
We went to find a place to eat, the guide book had promised that food is good here and they weren't wrong.
We had a set dinner menu for $5 (3.50) Garlic bread each, followed by grilled whole fish for Frans, I had scallops, then Frans had breast of chicken with sate sauce with veg and noodles and I had pork steak with mushroom sauce with braised cabbage and pots, then we both had fresh fruit, AND a glass of wine or coffee (as he was on beer I got both glasses of wine)
I know I keep on about the prices but they are bloody cheap eh?

This morning we were up early, got a rikshaw to some ruins with a massive Budda on top of the hill and an amazing view of the town from the top.

Budda can be seen from all over town

Then onto a fab black and white photography exhibition of life in Vietnam (many of his photos have won awards around the world)
We then walked through he town and all afternoon we walked along the palm fringed beach,

it's really lovely with big waves crashing onto the shore, Frans went in and did his beach bum stuff, I sat and watched. I can't be doing with the water going over my head

We are probably going to stay here a few days more then get the 12 hour sleeper train (over night this time) to the next main town. I am looking forward to sleeping on a train as I never have done before.
Right off now for more fab food and wine.
Got message from my Mum, they have arrived in NZ safe and sound
