Vietnam (Mui Ne)

Not much to say, we got off the bus to what felt like a ghost town. Mui Ne was dead, very little life but we had three nights booked so settled down for a few days of relaxation. The first night we didn't do much other than explore the seafront and eat some food. The hotel was okay, we had a not so bad room, the hotel had live music and was positioned centrally and the food was nice but expensive. We had a few things we wanted to do and planned our next few days. The hotel however did lie about its facilities e.g. laundry service, safe in room etc. The saving grace was a backpackers hostel next door that did laundry and also offered the cheapest bus and tour options we found on the strip. We tried to play crazy golf one day but the place was shut and resigned ourselves to a bit more relaxation. The hotel backed straight on to the sea, no beach though which we thought seemed a bit poor. The beach was about 10-15 walk further down the coast. We did venture out to visit some red and white sand dunes and a small fresh water steam which was nice. The sand dunes were mediocre in our opinion and felt more like several sandy hills, not as grand or as interesting as we originally thought. We had read you can sledge down them but upon arriving and seeing it in action it looked pretty lame. We had a few days to gather our thoughts and prepare for the next place but we won't be going back in a rush. Next we go to Saigon, the capital of Vietnam and then on to Cambodia to the next phase of the trip.
