Mui Ne is a tiny fishing town about halfway between Nha Trang and Ho Chi Min City, and it's famous for its windy beaches and therefore popular with windsurfers and kitesurfers! Nadeane wanted to see it on the way to Saigon and Scott wasn't bothered with it so I went with her for a day, then bussed back to Nha Trang overnight. First off, the whole town stunk of dry fish. We got a cheap room ($5) to put our bags in and then got a scooter ($4) and drove round finding the tourist sites of 'Fairy Stream' and 'Red dunes'. The stream was fun, for a stream, and we were followed by some awkward male teens who finally mustered up the courage to say 'hello where you from' and then practically ran off giggling at their bravery!
The dunes were cool, just massive stretches of fine red sand made into an industry by little kids selling rides on toboggans down the hills! 'Wanna slide? Wanna slide? Maybe later? Ok come to me when you slide later.' Had some fun playing in the sand and taking yoga photos of N before heading back to our dirty little bungalow to wait for the 1.30am bus back to NT for me, 2.30am bus to HCMC for her. It was sad to say goodbye, I hadn't expected to make such a close friendship so quickly, but she's offered to host me at her new place in LA (she's moving from Canada) when I get there in September, so I already can't wait for that!
