Nha Trang

After leaving Dalat on the 3rd we have now arrived in Nha Trang. We are now on a beach again and the temperature is back to something that would suit the clothes we have brought.

Since writing the last entry we have sorted the visas out. We had to stay in Nha Trang for an extra couple of days and pay a bit of extra 'dong'but managed to get an extension until April.

Nha Trang is a tourist resort not particularly for backpackers as there are some package holiday makers that come here but it is definately the best place for drinking and beaching in Vietnam. We have met other backpackers from Holland, Canada and the UK, who have all seen me make a fool of myself when I had 'too much sun'

We also did a 'snorkelling and swimming' boat trip around the islands surrounding Nha Trang. This did not involve much snorkelling or swimming but lots or mulberry wine and sun on the top of the boat. They also had a 'floating bar' which is exactly as it sounds, a man out in the ocean serving wine and pineapple to people floating around in rubber rings.

We have since found out that our visas have now run out as someone along the line has messed up when processing and have only given us a 14 day visa when we should have 30 days. As this run out today, we are now illegally in the country, or at least until the immigration office opens tomorrow and we can either extend this or get a new one. Anyway we'll update as soon as we know but we may be back sooner than we wanted.
