Nha Trang: bombs, mud and Russians.

Next stop: Nha Trang, Vietnam's main (and possibly only) seaside-resort town. It's a big hit with Russian's apparently and we were surprised to see Russian written everywhere just as much as English!

We met up with the G Adventure girls for a cheeky night out and headed to a few bars. One bar had a crazy little Vietnamese lady who persuaded us into ordering a large round of Jagerbombs by shouting BOMB BOMB BOMB at us until we ordered them. We ended the night in a cool little place called Why Not? Bar. Once it shut we left for our beds, only to get completely lost and ending up back at the same Why Not? Bar 45 minutes later and find that our hotel was actually practically opposite the bar! Fail.

Matching outfits. Awkward...

 The next morning Marc and Steven headed off to meet the girls to go to Thap Ba Hot springs and mud bath, leaving a very hungover Amy and Gareth in bed.

The bath was pretty bizarre, you sit in a tub whilst it fills up with liquid mud, and then pour it over yourself with buckets, surrounded by loads of other people (mainly Russian) doing the same. It was supposed to have healing properties, which was perfect for our hangovers! After covering ourselves in mud we showered off and moved to a 35 degrees Celsius mineral water bath which was much more relaxing, and then headed to the swimming pools.

By the end of our pampering we thought our hangovers had gone, but they returned pretty much as soon as we got back on the bus.

In the evening we met up with Amy and Gareth and found a little Vietnamese restaurant by following the smell of BBQ'd meat. Feeling adventurous, we ordered snake spring rolls, ostrich steak, swordfish, grilled crocodile, frogs legs, and a side of chips. The ostrich steak was good, as was the swordfish. The frogs legs were okay and the crocodile was a bit chewy. We probably would give the snake spring rolls a miss next time though!
