Have we become beach bums??

Day 11 - Nha Trang-Mui Ne 

Got up at 6am to get a early crack at the roads coz we had 250km to cover to make our stop at Mui Ne. So we got breakfast and were on the road before 7 am which was great timing really. Getting out of Nha Trang was handy enough coz it was one straight road but traffic was kinda crazy with trucks everywhere but it was ok. So off on highway 1 we went and that's where we stayed for most of the day anyway. Rocking on down south through blasting heat and manaic truck drivers overtaking buses while they are overtaking other buses. Insane. So we were all good until we hit to outside a town called Lao Chau and then the tiad got so so bad. A massive line of trucks for at least 20km for no reason but they were overtaking everywhere and it was just crazy but then it all just disappeared and there was no traffic then. We turned off the highway onto a connecting road heading fur Mui Ne. Must gave taken well over an hour to do the 40km coz we kept stopping in awe. The landscape wasvthe best we have seen so far. So different from the mountaineous north, thus was lakes and sanddunes with cloudless skies. Perfect. So we got into Mui Ne just in time for a swim in the pool before dinner and it was time to relax. Ho Chi Minh City is now only 200km away. 

Day 12 - Mui Ne Beach

Woke up and the plan was simply . . . nothing. How good does that sound. Got up and we went in search of breakfast but we actually couldn't find anywhere who done any fir ages. It got so frustrating havin to look fir somewhere. Eventually though we found one place and by that stage u could have eaten horse but it was ok they only had pancakes on the menu so that had to do. After that we jumped on the bike and headed out to see the red dunes. They were so bloody hot. It was roasting standing up on them. Must have been about 35 degrees I reckon if not more. We didn't spend too long there just because it was so hit and basically we didn't really fancy dying on the dunes. So we went for a drive along the beach front watching the waves crash in until we just wanted to go sit by the pool so we turned the bike round and soon enough at the pool we were and there we stayed until after sunset. Was real nice though coz the fishing boats kept drifting by and it was just nice to be sitting there along the beach after driving 1500km or so to finally have a do nothing day with the thought of only one more big day of driving to go before we are in HCMC.
