Nha Trang

We decided to get a motorbike today, this is probably the busiest spot I've driven in SE Asia, but it was a fun experience. The key to not crashing is to be as reckless as you can and hands on the back AND front brakes, there seems to be a mutual understanding that people will stop sort of a zip like motion.

Fun aside we decided to head to one of the Pagodas, unfortunately the usual dickheads were trying to squeeze every penny they could from the foreigner, trying to charge me for parking on the footpath, the security guard came out and told me I could park it on the other side of the entrance, he then asked for double what the guy outside wanted, he was told where to go, it's a shame as opportunists like this will do more damage then good to the tourist industry here.

We headed across the bridge to the Po Nghar Cham Towers, the place is being restored at present but still a beautiful piece of architecture. We watched the afternoon prayer and headed back to the coast line and drove towards all the scenery.

We dropped the bike back and enroute found a place that sells beer for 7000 dong (0.33 US cents), we went in here and decided to grab a bite to eat (Ciao Vietnam 74 Nguyen Thien Thuat St). We had a pizza, the most Asian of food...but it was damn tasty and fresh, I recommend this place highly the staff brought out a mixed fruit dish after to us, and I said we didn't order and she said 'Free for you' ,when we called the bill they also gave us two shots on the house! There was another of repeat customers in this place, and Its a shame we only fund this place when we were leaving.

I forgot to mention we get on the 6:30pm sleeper bus for a 11 hour Journey to Hoi An....lovely
