It's Getting Hot in Here!

Seriously it is getting hot! I can't remember ever being in this kind of heat....and the humidity is insane! Thankfully we got to spend three days in Nha Trang which is a beach town on the coast of Vietnam. The beach is beautiful and the water is crystal clear blue. I didn't expect it to be so nice....it was a great surprise! And we somehow got a mack-daddy corner ocean view room at the Novotel which is right across the beach. Not sure how we pulled that off but it sure was nice! I don't think either one of us wanted to leave.

We spent most of our time on the beach, on a boat, and in a pool. And I was able to run outside - yay! Since we wanted to maximize our time on the beach we ate at the two ocean-front restaurants for most of our meals, the Sailing Club (great food - tuna for me, ostrich for Darsh) and Lousiane Brewhouse (great sushi).

One day we took a boat tour which visited 4 neighboring islands. We were lucky to have met two really cool girls, Jackie and Maya from New York. I was really glad they got on the boat because up until that point it was just us and a bunch of people who didn't speak English. While that would have been fine, it was more fun to hang with some peeps you can chat with and have a few beers on a boat. The best part of the boat ride actually was hanging with them and drinking beers in inner tubes. The water was ridiculously warm so great to swim in but unfortunately the boat ride itself was pretty rocky. Thankfully we didn't get seasick! We did also get to see a pretty cool aquarium with tons of fish and sharks.

Nha Trang also has a pretty decent night scene. We did go out a couple nights but didn't stay out too late....although Why Not Bar did play some great 80's music! Somehow we were just tired from the sun....Darsh says this is what happens when you turn 35! :) He's right though, I'm pretty sure we would have had a completely different experience if we had done this trip 10 years ago. That said, I'm quite happy to be doing this trip now.
