Days 7-8 Journey to Nha Trang & Day 1 Activities

That's pronounced nya jiang. 

Jump on the bus at 20:00 like a boss. Donald won the life saving lottery, and was the only one with a safety belt. I think you need to pay extra for those.

It was a broken seat belt, but a seat belt nonetheless
The sleeper bus. One hard brake, and Jackie goes flying down the aisle. Also note the pastiness of Jackie's legs. This will change in later pictures.
Managed to sleep through most of the bus ride
Arrived in Nha Trang at 7am fresh as a daisy. We checked into our hotels, jumped on some motor bikes (you ride mota biee?) and we're off to explore the city.


Cham towers. Thousands of years old as I was told by the brochure












After checking out the towers, we set out to check out the temple and buddha statue.

Took a wrong turn down a claustrophobic alleyway
Back on the main roads
Found it







On the road again, hunting for lunch
There were more spring rolls than this, but we inhaled them before Jackie remembered to take photos
Seafood Fried Rice. The actually serving was much bigger than this, I swear
Fueled up, time to hit the beach




Our Lonely Planet guide recommended a smaller, less touristy beach north of the main beach. Thinking we've found it, we crossed this set of boulders to find... a big pile of used hypodermic needles. Of course, at that point, we high tailed it out of there, and decided we were more than happy with our tourist beach.

Heroine alley
Apparently, we were too busy doing beach things to take pictures when we were there. Just imagine frolicking, splashing and whatnot.

Evening festivities include girly drinks and jenga:
