First things first, Nha Trang was full of Russians! We hadn’t noticed this anywhere else in Vietnam and according to Google it’s because of nearby navy ties but it’s now where they come to tan and we were in their peak holiday season!
Nha Trang itself is known as the beach capital of Vietnam surrounded by lush green mountains with a party town atmosphere! Whilst it was beautiful it is currently the wet season and we did experience a storm or two. We were lucky as we had one beach day (despite the loungers being taken by the early risers).
Anyway the restaurants and bar selection was vast and knowing we were getting a little tired with spring rolls, Pho (noodle soup) and rice meant we tried to avoid the cuisine altogether (yes we may seem uneducated but after two weeks enough is enough!) We managed to indulge in Sushi, Italian, Spanish and Indian! Oh and Dean even tried a Shisha from a Russian owned bar (withdrawal symptoms from the lack of the electric puffer!)
The biggest trip we did in Nha Trang was a day at the hot spring resort (I-Resort). It was amazing and we would definitely recommend it! The resort itself was a short golf buggy ride away from our hotel (Michelia, Nha Trang) and is set within 6 hectares of shaded mountains. We had a little hut for the day where we enjoyed a mineral rich mud bath (apparently the mud has certain chemical characteristics and is fab for the skin!) after this we moved onto a herbal bath followed by a massage each! Lunch was included and we spent the rest of the day lounging around the hot springs. This is what happiness is made of!!
Over and out for now, Cambodia here we come!
