Day 19 Nha Trang

Our plan was to travel to the highland hill station of Dalat, which meant a 12 hour overnight sleeping bus to Nha Trang, changing to a sitting bus for 6 further hours to Dalat. However..... there was a road accident that backed up traffic for 3 hours, and we had not one but two flat tires so ended up limping into Nha Trang 5 hours late, and missed our connection. So nothing for it but to spend the night in Nha Trang.


Nha Trang is a beach resort town, party central, big and brash, like a budding Waikiki, with cement towers going up weekly. Being typhoon season as well, we weren't too upset about passing on it, but in the end we had a bit of a gift. The sun actually shone (well ok there was one downpour, but it didn't last long) and so we spent the afternoon walking the beach, then the evening getting caught up on email. Nice when a problem turns into such a postive experience!
