Arrived in Nha Trang by a short hours flight. Its a beautiful beach resort city. Lots of tourists from all over the world. Mostly backpackers and young beautiful people from Australia. Great restaurants, lots of fresh fish everywhere. Neat spot and definitely different from where we have been. Its a big city, but on the beach.
In the morning we took a ride out to a little village in the country to have lunch with the chief of the village. The lunch wa prepared by his wife. During lunch (shrimp, fish, cuttlefish, chicken, spinach, beef, soup....) outside in the yard, little chicks kept pecking my toes because of the nail polish. While the chief was speaking with us, a snake slithered under the table between me and the lady next to me. Then a bull frog hopped by. WAs bizarre. Noone even noticed. Then I learned how to make baskets with the chiefs daughter. WE strolled through their village streets (dirt path) and headed back to town. Sounds dull, but it wasn't. We called it A Day in the Life.
Dinner was in town, after we had some free time to walk down to the beach for a drink. Apparently, the Sail Club, was a big spot for GI's during the war. Too many uyoung beautiful kids in bikinis. Makes me feel really old.
Right now I am in the dining room of our hotel having just had breakfast and they are playing some english Happy New Year song BLASTING in my ear. Bizarre. Its 8:00am.
