Boat Trip from Nha Trang (Katy)
After three days of diving courses I needed some time to relax so we booked on a boat trip. It was pretty cheap, so we weren't too brothered about what it was like.
It started off okay, but we soon realised that it was going to be more expensive than we'd originally though. Every time we jumped off the boat to go swimming or snorkelling, it cost us money. It wasn't much money though so we just paid and carried on.
After lunch the guides on the boat, most of whom only spoke Vietnamese, picked up microphones and instruments and started to sing. It was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. We were on a boat, in the middle of the sea and these three guys started singing the Rivers of Babylon. They were really going for it as well. I thought one of them was going to break his drums.
After the enertainment was happy hour. This consisted of a floating bar, serving free wine and pineapple. Everyone was given a rubber ring, then you swam up to the bar for your drink. Well I say everyone got a rubber ring, apart from one poor guy who had to try to drink his wine while treading water. The current was quite strong so it was advised that he hold on to others.
Obviously we don't advise this type of behavior for. Drinking while swimming, especially in the middle of the sea is very dangerous and should never be allowed.
With happy hour over, we stopped at a few more islands, which we had to pay for, then eventually made it back to the harbour.
