We decided that we needed to have a bit of a rest after a few weeks of non stop sight seeing so we headed to the beach at Nha Trang. Only problem was when we arrived it was very windy and rainy.
Winter in Vietnam! Our hotel overlooked the beach which is seemingly one of the best in the world. Can’t really say that just now. The waves that were pounding the beach were about 10 – 15 feet high. At least it wasn’t cold.
We had booked the hotel for a week so we decided to make the best of it.
The rain was intermittent and we did occasionally see some sun. When the sun was out we went to the beach and when it was windy and wet we went for a massage or a few drinks
Syd thinks he's getting a bit thinner.
There is a theme park – Vinpearlland - in Nha Trang, so we spent a few hours there. You have to take the cable car to reach the island that it is on.
The cable car is the longest cable car over water in the world. We were surprised that it didn’t swing about too much in the wind. The theme park is quite small. A few large rides and some indoor machine games – racing cars, motorbikes, shoot ‘em up games etc. There is also a waterpark , beach and aquarium. All included in the entrance fee.
When the sun did make an appearance the beach was quite busy. The street vendors moved their stalls onto the sands.
Anyone for freshly cooked lobster?
Did a little bit of shopping too. One kilo of mandarins for 50p.
We managed to have a good week in Nha Trang despite the weather.
Glad you were able to get some rest. Have a great Christmas.
