The journey to Nha Trang is quite simple. We were picked up by a taxi and taken to the bus 'station'. We were travelling this time with Viet Nat. From here we were on a sitting bus. I personally prefer sleeper buses because there is much more room. On a sitting, if someone leans their chair back you actually cannot move. You stop in quite a decent place for food and with decent toilets. So if you haven't brought food it's not the end of the world. When we arrived,we actually walked to the hostel. Nha Trang is not the largest of cities- it's more like a large town.
Beach
We spent every day here. It's quite a nice beach and there's plenty of stalls and activities if you so wish for them. It was really busy on the days that's we went because of Reunification Day. Reunification Day is the celebration of, as the Spice Girls would say, two becoming one aka when Vietnam because one country again rather then the previous split of North and South. There were lots of families and celebrations going on which made the atmosphere so lively.
Street Markets
We ate at street markets every night. I am not going to lie, I have been living of noodles and rice since being in Asia and I am starting to get a little bored. So we treated ourselves to a beef steak dish which had a lovely rich sauce that was served with an egg and a baguette. It sounds like an odd combination but it was really nice. Plus it cost just over a pound!
We also divulged in a baguette from one of the stalls for lunch. There are stalls everywhere and you can get a baguette with everything on for 20 dong which is less than a pound. I would not be able to tell you what everything consists of but it tasted damn good!
Nha Trang does not always have the best reputation amongst travellers but I really enjoyed my time here. Furthermore, it was really nice to have a few chilled days after Canyoning!
