Paint it, Black

Heres some highlights of our trip to Nam. Id give you an in-depth description of everything we did, but theres only so much I can write about drinking cocktails out of coconuts and sitting in the sun. Yep.

So...here it is. Vietnam in few words, and tons of pictures!


Motorbikes in Ho Chi Minh. After the plane ride, experiencing traffic in Nam isnt the most relaxing start to a holiday...




View from the apartment in Mui Ne. Beachfront villa, of course...




Local wildlife








Local sights



TV in Nam: Anchorman or...jousting. Both have merit.







Highlights of our day trip to Phan Thiet. That really is a whale skeleton.





The White dunes. These dunes are in the middle of the countryside, and stretch for miles, like a mini-desert. In the middle of the dunes, though, there is this huge lake. the local kids will offer to get you a lotus flower from the lake, or a slide down the dunes on a piece of plastic sheeting for a bit of cash.



The Red cliffs


After all that adventure, I had the honour of being THE MOST SUNBURNT MAN ALIVE



All pain was forgotten after the hotel surprised me with birthday wishes (in flowers!) and cake!


Much beer was consumed...


...but the Snake Wine was avoided.


Thats pretty much it. Ten days of holiday fun not doing anythig in particular. War is hell, man.
