Nha Trang, Vietnam


We got the impression from our guide book that Nha Trang would be sleazy and commercial, but it really wasn't. Had a lot of fun here, and met some good people.

I had my first recreational dives, 2 for $40. Explored some underwater caves and terrain that was easily as good as Ko Tao, and managed to keep up fine with the 2 other guys I was with who were both dive masters. Megan did a 'try a dive' and went 6m under with a personal guide.
Not many freezers around means ice is always being delivered, then chopped up to put in drinks. It seems all ice is perfectly fine here, made from filtered water.






*Cringe* Me doing a haka. I had no choice, they had every nationality on the booz cruise up to perform a song. What else could I do?

After everone else had humilated themselves in the name of entertainment especially. See below - our personal on board band with plastic barrel drum kit. We also had a floating red wine bar, snorkelling, an aquarium, and the booz flowed freely between 10am and midnight, oh dear. We had an unscheduled extra day in Nha Trang after this.
