Christmas/New Year - Vietnam (Part 3)

Next stop on the tour, Nha Trang.  About an hour flight north of HCMC right on the coast.  The plan?  Beach, sun, relaxation, etc.  Nha Trang is relatively small beach town supposed to have the best beaches in Vietnam and have a great nightlife.

On arrival, pretty darn good...

Slightly overcast skies but not a bad view from the hotel...

The view the other direction...

Decent looking pool

Cold beer!

We were always searching to get 5 people on a scooter captured on camera but sadly while we saw it plenty the best we got on camera was 4...

Gotta love the guy sanding/cutting wood right next to the fresh vegetable market.

Still doesn't do the scooters justice, but you get the idea.

Not the most functional bicycle but pretty cool.

Seafood cooked on the ground anyone?

Just away from the resort area was a very impoverished neighborhood.

The Sailing Club, right on the beach where we celebrating New Years, with a few thousand of our closest friends.

Complete with a traditional Chinese lion dance

And a crazy man doing a fire show

Happy New Year everyone!

All in all the weather turned poor in Nha Trang which made it for a very sleepy stop on our trip.  Lots of rain kept us pretty chilled out.  Thankfully the new years celebration was free of the rain.

Bottom line is I love Vietnam but am not likely to return to Nha Trang.  There are plenty more places to visit in the future!
