Mui Ne

After leaving Ho Chi Minh, we headed north east to the coast. We took a sleeping bus which was a first for me. It was literally a bus with lots of bed - bit weird, but also good fun. Needless to say i stayed awake whilst Kipper.....studied the back of her eye lids. 


We arrived in Mui Ne and found a little hut right on the beach. Mui Ne is known for its surfing and kite surfing, so we were looking forward to some fun. Sadly the waves were not great for normal surfing so decided to go in search of kite surfing. Chuffing 'eck it is expensive, but that aside they didn`t have any availability for 3/4 days and we were only planning on being in town a short while. Never mind, it will save the me the embarassment of being dragged on my face, in the sand, along the beach!


Mui Ne was a nice place to chill out and we made the most of seeing the sights, whilst also chilling out for a while. It was nice to be on a beach again, with great sunshine and a cool breeze. With time against us we decided to go on a local tour that was either at sunrise or sunset.  


We opted for the sunrise and were up and out at 04:30am. About an hours drive from Mui Ne is a series of sand dunes. These are a local attraction and quite random in the middle of nowhere, but still impressive to see. 

After this we headed to "down town" Mui Ne, a typical Vietnamese fishing  village. This was good and just after the morning boats had returned from being out all night at sea. The smells were not that great, but i suppose it was a fishing village.

 

After this we went on to the last of the local sights, Fairy's Stream. No fairys but there was a stream. 


After getting back from our early start, we headed for a well deserved brunch and chill out by the pool. This afternoon we are taking another  5 hour bus and heading north again, this time to Nha Trang, the main beach town in Vietnam. So a brief but good stay in Mui Ne.
