Nha Trang was just so-so...we did a tour of 4 of the outer islands and we barely got off the boat. The snorkeling was decent despite the worthless gear provided. We did some walking around the sitting and saw the largest sitting Buddha in the world, that was pretty cool.
After Nha Trang we bussed it to Dalat. Dalat is up in the hills of Central Vietnam, a pretty nice bus ride with some good views. As has become typical, we did a lot of walking around Dalat. We saw the summer palace of Bao Dai, who was one of the last feudal kings of the Nguyen Dynasty in the early 20th Century...somewhat interesting. The highlight of Dalat was drinking 2500 Dong beers (that's about 15 cents) with some locals...priceless.
Then we sped back to the coast and spent a night in Mui Ne. Quite a nice little beach town spread along about 10km of coastline. Lots of kitesurfing and windsurfing going on this area as the winds really pick up in the afternoon. Again we walked a lot. Some pretty swanky hotels and resorts along the southern part of the beach.
After a night in Mui Ne it was time for us to head to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City)!! Photos to come...
