02 July 2008 - Nha Trang - Hoi An

Awake nice and early & meet the others for breakfast. After the Belgian girl and I head off to Long Son Pagoda and the White Buddah. As we arrive we are immediately bombarded by hawkers trying to sell us postcards. We get rid of them and walk up the 152 steps toward the White Buddah - "Nha Trang's most recognisable landmark". It was crafted in 1963 to symbolise the Buddist struggle against the repressive Diem regime.










After we head back to the hotel where we have to kill a few hours as we are leaving for Hoi An. I spend the time mooching about the beach and lounging by the pool, before the clouds roll in and there is a heavy rain storm. I sit with the others just chatting before we head to the train station.



I share my train cabin with the Irish couple again, but this time our cabin is an utter mess from the previous occupants. I'm not feeling to well so go to bed early. I wake in the middle of the night to find the Irish lady hitting things. I ask what's wrong and see bugs crawling around our cabin. She freaks out and does not sleep all night. I don't really care and go back to bed.
