Adventures of Captain Haddock

Nha Trang, Vietnam


[[Vietnam/Nha-Trang]]

The seaside city of [[Vietnam/Nha-Trang]] is arguably Vietnam's most popular resort, the beach is long, sandy but sadly not is great condition.. lots of rubbish and fag butts.. I managed to find a house brick and a broom during a recky in the sea.

The highlight of [[Vietnam/Nha-Trang]] was the fishing/snorkeling day trip that we booked, the boat was sadly not the vessel that we were expecting.. apparently a Mr Abrahmovic had made a late minute booking on our little lady, so instead an alternate was sent. The boat was semi decent but didn't stop me feeling a tad queezy.. happily 2 Saigon Exports before 9am soon had me sound and settled.

The plan was to spend the day alternately fishing and snorkeling, the snorkeling was pretty poor compared to what we had both done before (Thai Islands and Great Barrier Reef) - so the fishing took on extra importance. By midday is wasn't looking good, the plan to have caught our own lunch had failed.. as we glumly tucked into our chicken baguettes (good bread though) we thought positive and the fish duly arrived. Final tally was 4 to Emilia (including 1 poisonous fish, either a plus/minus point depends on which way you look at it) and 2 for Russ. A fun day was had by all!

Another excursion was to a natural mud-bath/hot Spring which was fairly decent.. worth it for observing the antics of Vietnamese tourists.. a funny bunch.

Next stop the village of Hoi An and time for tailored suits and dresses.

Fishing game on Wii gives minus points for poisonous fish but that doesn't affect the final scores.

Sounds good though bro, surely last time finishing was using Coke cans off Phuket as a toddler? Scenes
