We left at 8.30am on a bus which spent an hour driving around Nha Trang centre ikn the blistering heat picking people up for the day trip on the boat. When we eventually got there, it was rammed full, but still we met some nice people and had a good time. We stopped off for some rather uninspiring snorkelling, and were glad that we hadn't spent 80 dollars to go scuba diving and see no fish. We saw 4 islands in total, messed about on a jet ski, did plenty of swimming, and had an amazing lunch on the boat. Some of the local guys working on the boat did some hilarious covers of western songs using a guitar and some barrels, getting everyone in the party spirit, after which one of them jumped into the water with a 'floating bar', which we swam out to for plenty of free Dalat wine, which turned out to be stronger than we at first realised. We made a few friends on the trip who'll hopefully be travelling up to Hoi An in the next few days, so it's likely we'll be able to have a few nights out here.
At 6pm we got on the bus to Hoi An, the worst journey of my life. In the end it was 13 hours on a bus with dodgy air conditioning, tight seating, and a Vietnamese man behind us with chronic bronchitis. The bus got in at 7am this morning (sunday), and after having got no sleep at all we went for a lie down to recover. It was a nightmare journey but I'm so glad it's over. Only here would it take 13 hours to travel 400km...
