Day 23 - Nha Trang

Have to do 3 entries today as I've struggled to get a decent connection. On Friday we spent the day in Nha Trang, a large town on the coast north of Mui Ne. We walked to Long Tranh's gallery, he's a Vietnamese photographer who takes all his shots in black and white using old equipment. Over the years he's taken some great shots and it was great to see some beautiful images of Vietnamese life. We also spent some time at a gallery with some incredible embroideries, which clearly took a long time to make but were ridiculously cheap. In the evening we went to an non air-conditioned gym, where we both almost died of heat stroke, but had a good workout anyway. The beaches aren't that impressive in Nha Trang but it's lively and there's plenty to do. In the evening we booked a boat 'cruise' which does some island hopping for the next day.
