Beaches in Central Vietnam


We spent a lovely week in Central Vietnam at the beaches.  A few days at Nha Trang - a popular resort with Russian tourists and then a few days at  Mui Ne - a backpacker hangout further south.  Since the kids missed the first day of school at home we decided to celebrate with something exciting - so we all went parasailing!  It was great - the best part was dipping your toes in the ocean when the boat slowed down.  The locals, who ran the boat, were great - strapping us in, giving us some directions in basic English (hold on!) and then catching us when we landed back on the beach.  We all had a lot of fun.

You can see in the parasailing photos Nha Trang beach is wide, long with yellow sand and gorgeous mountains backing the 6 km beach.                             

 









































In Mui Ne we spent time tanning, boogey boarding, eating fresh lobster barbecued on the beach, and enjoying cold beer on the balcony at our hotel.

Kenna and I had pedicures, facials and massages too!  A great holiday on our trip.
