Heading north from Saigon we caught the bus to the seaside resort of Mui Ne, well away from the chaos and traffic in Saigon - phew!
Its has a stunning coast which is really popular for kite surfing. Its hard to see how all the kites don't get tangled together!
The waves were great fun, Mark is doing his David Hasselhoff impression ;-)
Mui Ne is a fishing village and we saw this trail of round fishing boats. They were like baskets getting pulled along by a boat with an engine (ish).
Each little boat has a fisherman in it. Some were asleep!
Our room was lovely with a sea view from the balcony. A very lucky find.
We couldn't resist a little bit of fun when the maid left her hat behind ;-)
Well if Kate has to do it so does Mark !
The hotel owners were fantastic. John from Australia and his Vietnamese wife 'Twee', who spent most of her life in California after fleeing the Vietnam War were great hosts.
Eight of us went for a meal for Johns birthday to a local seafood restuarant (someones house lol) for a feast!
Twee (in white) picked the catch of the days for us.
The King Prawns were delicious & the Aussies even taught us to peel them properly lol!
They were a lovely bunch of people & we ate together for the next 3 nights getting some fantastic local food and learning about Vietnam from Twee.
We were sad to leave such a friendly place :-(
