Vietnam Beach Life: Traveling South Down the Coast

It’s been awhile since we’ve rocked the beach. We’ve been landlocked since our Ko Samet Thailand adventure. Well no more, we’ve had beach days at all of our last three stops, meaning a mad tan (a new birth mark like creation due to inadequet sunscreen application) and uber relaxation.

By far the best beach is in Hoi An, one of Sander and my favorite stops on our journey. Na trangm our last stop offered the best (and only?) tour we’ve been on, a boat tour.  I’ve got some great video from the shinanigans that whent on there. Snorkeling, fresh food, booze a roof top hangout and good new friends made the experience a blast. Oh and the crew takes to playing live music while passing out numerous bottles of local Mulberry wine (it starts to taste good after the first bottle!) Since others weren’t liking the wine a group of us decided to forgo the more touristy stops on the journey for drinking on the roof of the boat and lounging about. Lots of jumping off, swiming and chilling in the water, along with the drinking led to a good sunburn and an even bettter (worse?!?) hangover.

Hangover in hand we boarded a bus and have arrived in Mui Ne, an apparent surfers paridise according to Lonely Planet. Not quite how I would describe it. The beach is minimal and is completely dwarfed and blocked by a number of large resorts. I think there are more resorts than people here right now. Oh well, we’re relaxing and catching our breath before we head to Ho Chi Minh City. I’ve lined up a meeting there with the Canadian Consulate, I’ve had lots of time to think on the journey and I thought I would check out the business opportunities here. We shall see.

Well its off the bar. Catch you all later
