Mr Binh speaks pretty good English and took me to Bo Ha waterfalls, a ruined Cham tower in Nha Trang and a couple of other beauty spots, 5 pounds for the day.
This is a bit like Blackpool, it has its sleezy side and it is full of Europeans but it is such a beautiful place. The bay is a big horseshoe shape with mountains rising on all sides reminding me a bit of Marbella but more beautiful, more lush and 3 dimensional.
On the walk to the waterfall we saw lizards, snakes (one big one at least 5 feet long), birds (a species of kingfisher I have never seen before) and fish.
We passed through typical famland and villages that look as though they have been the same for generations except for the addition of satellite dishes.
I am off as planned to Da Lat on the 7.30 bus, aim to spend 2 days there and then get an Easy Rider to Saigon. Well thats the plan, I am starting to think now about timing the return to Bangkok for my flight on 12th and still have a lot to fit in.
Internet is still a pain. I can not view the blog or see any comments but hope to add some photos later...I can edit and post new blogs but can't see it so hope it comes out OK.
