Just arrived in Nha Trang
We arruved in Nha Trang yesterday after a bus journey from Dalat. The journey wasn’t too bad and only took about 5 hours. This is the first time since Krabi we have been near the sea.
We were innundated with tour operators trying to get us to stay at their hotels as we got off the bus. we ignored them and set of down the roadto find somewhere to stay when a guy pulled up on a scooter next and started to talk about his hotel. For some reason, not sure why, we went to have a look at the hotel. He said it was a nice hotel and thought that was funny!! Then, as we pulled up at the hotel I realized why. It is called The Nice Hotel, Nha Trang. It is definitely not the type of place we would usually stay - 4or5 star by UK standards, but we had a look at the rooms and they where amazing with air con and sea views and balconies. I thought by Vietnamese prices it would be about 30/40 pounds but its only 5 pounds per night so we're really happy about that.
We've just had breakfast (eggs and French bread). Katy’s just started an open water diving course, and this afternoon I think they're doing the first pool session so that should be good. Tomorrow we are both heading off to do two open water dives off the back of a dive boat. We've heard there are lots of fish around including a family of Napoleon fish which are about 5ft long so should be interesting. I've borrowed an underwater digital camera so hopefully I will be able to put some photos on the blog.
