Mui Ne

South Central Coast

One last thing to say about our time in Mui Ne is that on our last day, we decided to get a motorbike again and see the 'Red Canyon'. When we stopped for directions i soon realised that the bike had a puncture. So there we were in the absolute middle of nowhere with only a few houses dotted around, with very little cash, and a puncture. I thought we would have a long walk back but as luck would have it, we had stopped outside what seemed to be a house that fixes motorbikes and punctures which was the only place within miles. Anyway, we had the 2 punctures on the back wheel fixed only to drive down the road for 2km when it went flat again. We pushed the bike to another place that could fix them and he put a third patch on the tyre. After going to the ATM to get money to pay the 1st place, we were on our way back when yes you guessed it another puncture. This time we had to change the entire innertube at a cost and we lost the majority of the day doing all this. We never found the red canyon.

Arrived in Mui Ne on the Friday 24th. Bit different from Saigon, sand and sea instead of concrete and mopeds. We have spent the majority of the time on the beach so far.

We have been to the red and white sand dunes which are massive, this also involved us sledging on the back of a plastic board down some very steep dunes and falling off halfway most of the time.
