Stayed at the asia paradise hotel, a few streets back from the beach, quite nice it was



Good views of the bay frm the hotels rooftop pool




The next day we took the nippers over to vinpearl island, is sort of a cheesy viet style disneyland , kids loved it though.



The cable car spans over 3 kms


great views as well

[bsnub]

Great thread as always.

[toslti]

once you get to Vinpearl are all the attractions still free? Decent waterpark. I liked Nha Trang.... good feel to it and cheap beers.

[beerlaodrinker]

You pay for the rides with the cable car ticket, quite a lot to do there for kids and adults and you can easily spend a day there


Looked like they were busy re claiming land to expand the park



Aside from water parks theres a lot of rides, my young bloke was smiling when he got on this thing but the look on his face quickly changed to one of terror






The wife was having fun to




Cant seem to get away from mines

I liked Nha Trang.... good feel to it and cheap beers.

I found a well stocked minimart in town, I was wondering why the russkies were a bit of a drunken mess, Know i know why

BEAR BEER 12%

[grasshopper]

Nice thread BLD. Did you try the Bear extra strong beer?

Fall down, grab the grass mao?

555!

[beerlaodrinker]

I saw what it done to the russians and just stuck to viet piss

[grasshopper]

555! Lightweight!

[bsnub]

Man I bet that shit tastes horrible. I mistakenly bought a sixer of tall cans as we call them in the states. 9% "ice" beer as its called here. The misses was not pleased.

[Begbie]

Great thread, can't green ya.

[beerlaodrinker]

Theres a great little beach on vinpearl island and as its sheltered you dont get the rough sea

[beerlaodrinker]

The aquarium kept the kids amused, but made the wife think of tonights seafood




seafood Porn for mrs BLD

[BaitongBoy]

Aw, BLD...Thanks for thinking of us at TeakDoor with the sand writing...

Cheers, mate...Did the missus steal food from the aquarium for supper?...555...

[patsycat]

They are 1 fish short in that aquarium now.

[beerlaodrinker]

Only had a couple of nights in nha trang and wanted to take the train to mui ne (phan thiet) about 4 hours away but couldnt get a booking, hired a taxi instead. one thing i did notice was the viets didnt drive like absolute coonts


stayed at a place caled rang garden that advertised as beach front ,unfortunately there wasnt really a beach there at all.

This was disapointing to say the least. fortunately there are some beaches near by, room and resort was nice though

[beerlaodrinker]

This is the beach that has good surf, theres another one around the corner where the kite surfers go





Run little dude, run

[beerlaodrinker]

If if your not a surfer or kite boarder theres not a lot to see, still its a nice enough place



we went on some kind of lame tour to a place called Fairy stream which was basicly just a walk down a creek to look at strange sand and rock formations






If i knew how boring this was gonna be i would of brought some beers

[beerlaodrinker]

Next on the agenda was a place called red sand dunes followed by a trip to the white sand dunes, very unusual , feels like your in the desert




old woman will rent you a piece of plywood and tell you its a sled and that you will hurtle dwn the dunes at the speed of light. you wont, Lying fookers but gotta admire there entreprenuerism for getting daft fat fookers to part with dong

[beerlaodrinker]

The white ones turned out to be better

Plus you can hire a quad and dont have to walk

[beerlaodrinker]

Not a lot of interest here so i will just post up few more pics and finish up




Fishing boat harbour


enjoyed mui ne but wouldnt rush back there, Took the train from muie ne to saigon. not the best train ive ever been on but not to shabby
either. kids liked it and i liked it coz i could get a beer and wonder around. cant do that in a plane eh. Takes about 4 hours


phan thiet train station

[DrB0b]

Cheers, BLD. I enjoyed that. I take the point about more travel threads, off to have a rummage through Google Photos.
