Nha Trang beaches and sun

Nha Trang is a wonderful slice of paradise on the East China Sea. Although rather touristy, the beaches were amazing! Encircled by green hills and a sea dotted with lush islands, I had to remind myself I wasn't in Hawaii! E and I took the longest cable car in the world to Vinpearl Island where an amusement park, aquarium, beaches and water park awaited us. It was beautifully manicured and so much fun playing like little kids for the day!

After a full day, we went back to Lousiane Brewery which is quite possibly the coolest brewery in the world. It has a beautiful pool, excellent beach front property and serves some excellent sushi and beer. My fav was the Passion fruit Wisbeer (dubbed the Vietnamese radler).

Yes this is a brewery:

After dinner, we strolled back to the ocean to go to the fancy Sailing Club which hosts a huge Saturday night beach party complete with a DJ and dancefloor on the sand, flaming juggling performers and a whole slew of drunk Russians (one somehow ended quoted Borat to us).

We awoke way too early to the jackhammers next door. Today we took a bus to a beautiful local beach where lots of sun, shaded areas, lounge chairs, BBQ and beer (and sugar cane rum!) awaited us. A beautiful way to spend a few hours.

This lil kids butt was hanging out all day but didn't get in the way of his playing!

Upon returning, four (E, a Norwegian and a German) of us taxid to the mud bath spa! This was heavenly! We started with a group soak in a very liquidy mud (which was refreshing to our slightly burnt skin!) then a long soak in a mineral bath with fruit and water and then the 45 min foot and body massage! After a shower I felt good as new! And all of that was about $20! Tonight, it's off to Hoi An on the night train! We will be celebrating Erika's first Non-Blues Monday!
