It was a good job I was charging my iPod next to the bed last night because, at about 3.30am this morning, Mum and Keith decided to work on their syncronised snoring routine. I've never heard anything like it. Mum sounded like she was gargling something in a low droning tone and Keith was obviously the lead in this little group - absolutely belting it out! Thankfully, the iPod blocked it out and I was able to sleep until 6.30am when the alarm went off. The bus was leaving at just after 7.30am and we all had to get ready.We were under the impression that the journey from Dalat to Nha Trang was only a short one, but it turns out that's not the case! It will be... once they finish building the big road that connects the two, but for now it stands at about 6 hours and meant driving back down the huge mountain. Our driver was just as bad as yesterday and at one point, one of the passengers staggered to the front to beg for his life - and for the driver to slow down. He did thankfully, but only until we reached the bottom - then he sped off again.
When we arrived in Nha Trang it was raining and because we didn't have anywhere to stay, we dumped Mum and Keith in a small café with the bags and went off in search of somewhere nice for them. We were under a bit of pressure because, although he's not said as much, Keith wasn't impressed with last nights place - and we wanted them to stay somewhere nice for their last two days in Vietnam. We walked around for a while and then found a lovely little place called The Sun Hotel, which was only $10 a night. We told the olds and when they saw it, they were more than happy to stay there. With that sorted, we had some lunch and then waited for the rain to stop. It did - but only for a couple of minutes, so we went out exploring anyway. Nha Trang is a pretty big place - and is also a seaside town. The beach looks really nice and it has some huge waves. We walked all along the front and then in and out of the shops on the way back to our hotel.
So, one full day left for the olds... what a bummer!

Did you manage to keep a straight face when writing this, because I certainly couldn't when reading it. And you even suggested that we all go away together again. (I presume that you mean we have rooms on different floors )Another fun filled day in Vietnam.xx
