Our first day in the beach town of Nha Trang was rainy. It pissed it down. We were all psyched up for soaking in the last sun of our holiday too... instead we spent most of the day on the internet! :-P Nerds that we are...
But in the gaps between the rain we did head out for some food and a wander along the beach esplanade which is quite nice. We found a little bar with tiny plastic seats on the streets selling cheap bia hoi - fresh beer. At 50 cents a jug we settled in for a couple of hours! There were two very lively little kittens that entertained us while we drank as well - and it poured with rain outside!
We found a great monkey that belonged to an art gallery (well maybe all monkeys are great, but this one was especially great) to play with for a little bit, he stole my sunnies and chewed them up a bit, and messed up Gav's hair!
On our second day we headed off to Thap Ba - mineral mud baths! This is a great way to spend a day in Nha Trang. You go and sit in a bath of mud for about half an hour, then sunbake for a bit covered in mud, then rinse off in these high powered spray shower things, and then go have a hot mineral water bath (these are big outdoor tubs with straw roofs on them) for a while, and then grab a cold beer and head to the big hot swimming pool! It was like a massive bath tub - the water was 38 degrees but felt hotter! You couldn't really swim for very long, it was too hot! In all, great fun - I recommend this if anyone goes to Nha Trang!
After the mud baths we grabbed a quick dinner and said a last goodbye to Minsoo before catching the overnight train to Danang.
