Up The Coast

From Ho Chi Minh we headed up the Vietnam coast to a small beach town called Mui Ne. We had heard that this was the Mecca of kite surfing in Vietnam so we were keen to get back into it again. However, the tourist prices were well and truly in force here: kite and board rental was 3-5 times the price we paid in Thailand which unfortunately put it outside our budget so we had to give it a miss until we get to Australia. We did take the opportunity to rent a scooter and take off to the nearby sand-dunes which were actually very impressive.

After a fun day on the scooter and a dose of sunburn, we left Mui Ne for the next city, Nha Trang. This will be our base for the next week or so as we have met up with our skydiving friends from Ireland, Charlie and Pippa! We are also doing some more scuba diving here. Nha Trang is much bigger than Mui Ne but the way they have built up the city has preserved the beach. It is very scenic. The weather recently has also been perfect which is great so we’re in no hurry to leave here just yet!

Special mention to regular blog reader Henry Jakobson who is getting married today :) Congratulations! Even though it is so nice here, we wish we could take a day off and go to the wedding in Estonia.
