Last night we left Hoi An on an overnight bus to Nha Trang to rent a motorbike and driver for 2 days into the central highlands of Vietnam but when we arrived in Nha Trang in the morning is was rainy, so we made the decision to stay on the bus for another 5 hours to go to Mui Ne, a beach town along the coast that is famous for it's red and white sand dunes and the best surf waves in Vietnam. We got a bungalow on the beach with Steph, a girl from Boston who is teaching in Japan, and hung out for the afternoon. The next morning I got up and rented a motorbike to go to the check out the sand dunes. I guess this wasn't something I planned to see but neat to see a small desert (not quite so hot) in that part of Vietnam. Also to make up for my snow deprivation this winter I went sledding in the sand dunes!! You don't move quite as quickly as you do on snow, but still fun!! I also hiked along a stream through the canyons and then headed back to the beach for the afternoon. We headed down to Ho Chi Minh City that night (aka Saigon) to meet Steph who took an early bus.
