Nha Trang - Beach in Vietnam!


The next stop on  my open bus ticket route was Nha Trang. This city is kind of just a beach town with not much to do. There are some tour companies that you can go diving with but other than that very little. Walking around all the shops arent in clusters of what they sell so you can actually enjoy walking around and window shopping. There are many times when you will be shopping even when you don't wont to. There are people waling around with big boards full of sunglasses and lighters and other various trinkets. Many people selling books as well.
Most of the backpackers end up going to Backpackers house. Not cheap by all means and not really near the beach but everyone goes there because well everyone else goes there. I read that there were some nice hotels near the beach and the rooms would be cheaper cause i already new the people i was with so we could share. About a 10 min walk back to the beach there is a little alley with a whole bunch of hotels offering rooms for about $4 per person. A great deal considering its so close to the water. We ended up getting both rooms on the very top floor and even had our own balcony with a great view, one of the better places i have stayed in .

We spend most of the time just hanging out at the beach. We thought it was great because there were nice chairs but after sitting down we found out you would have to pay 30000 dong to use ($1.50) so we set up a nice place in the sand. Played around in the water for a long time, the waves are much bigger than ones I am used to.
 Lots of fun trying to body surf but not as much fun finding out that I had sand in every crevice of my body when I got out.
The only thing other than the beach I did in Nha Trang is "Vinpearl Land". more on that in the next post.
Remember to comment and pass on!

Bali - Ubud and Kuta

Bali is beautiful I wish that we could have spent more time there but we ended up getting stuck on gili. To make up we spent 3 nights in a place called Ubud and did a day tour where we saw soooo much. We saw a traditional Balinese dancing. it was really cool cause there was no instruments. The men who were seated all around chanted and made a whole bunch of different sounds it sounded like there was music coming from all around you. They also made the setting by changing how they were sitting and moving around. at one point they turned into a snake that was transformed from an arrow that was shot by the evil king. afterword there was a man who was dressed as a horse danced around on burning coconut husks. i didnt really understand the reasoning but it was impressive all the same. We went to a bunch of different temples which were all very intricate. Harvested some rice with some old ladies who tried to charge me for it after. The s...

Than Tan Hotsprings - Hue

After an over night bus to the city Hue from Hanoi and checking into a hostel me and some people who were on the Halong Bay tour with me decided that we should do something with our day and that we were going to go to one of the hot springs just outside the city. We asked the lady that worked at our hostel and she said that she could book a taxi for us. We decided that we could get one cheaper somewhere else so we wandered down the street only to find out that we couldnt. So we went back to her and asked for the taxi again. 10 min later a minibus came to pick us up. We thought it would be better anyways because some taxi's cant be trusted and thought this was a safer option. The drive there was really long. we went through little villages and many dirt road. 45 min later we arrived at the hot springs. I read online that there would be some sort of entrance fee which we were fine with but once inside the building by the gate we thought something was off when it said it was 170...
