Getting lazy

This pic is from a couple weeks ago, not the best pic. Me, 2 sweds, a brazilian are chillin out on a desert island just off the coast of Cambodia drinking beers and starting a tan.

I am getting lazy with this blog thing, there is soooo much to write about, but I just don't have the patience.

I am still travelling with the 2 american I met on the bus from cambodia to vietnam. They are awesome travelling buddies because they hate tour groups, hate doing the normal thing and are just fun to party with.

The only bus that runs to Mui Ne, a small beach resort town 4 hours from Saigon, leaves at 8am.... so i actually had to get up early (its a first in like a week). The ride was flat, straight, but too long. It just wanted to see the ocean again.

I am not sure what I expected from Mui Ne, but it wasn't what I thought it would be. The bus first pulled up in front of a beach resort... something a backpacked couldn't afford, I was a little scared that we wouldn't be able to afford to stay in the town... but just a block down we found a beautiful place with bungloos, pool table, lots of sand... and it was right on the beach. It was little on the expensive side, 15$ for 3 beds.

This town is a town of vacationer... all kite boarding, and wind surfing. It is a sight to see. There are hundreds of kites in the sky, people getting meters of air... looked like fun.

I wanted to try my hand at kite boarding, but time and money wouldn't allow it. I think it is the first time I haven't been able to do what I have wanted to do because of money this trip. Oh well...instead... me, 2 american, and a british chick rented motorbikes for the day and went sand sledding, for a walk through sand dunes, a red canyon, went swimming/played in the waves. I even tryed driving a motobike for hte first time. It was an awesome day that ended with a plate of fresh crab. I am loving the food at the beach. Fresh fish the first evening and crab the second.

I am now in a town called Dalat. I feel like I am in a European country. There are parks everywhere, french style building, even swan boats on the lake. Pics to follow soon.

Not the best food here, but i have only eaten one meal here.

Dude... the guesthouse we are staying in in amazing... no beach front bungaloo but it does have hot water, a tv, good beds and free water.

I shouldn't complain but it is cool here... 10 degrees or so and no humidity. I may use my fleece tonight.

Tomorrow, the plan is to rent motorbikes, see waterfalls, and the natural sights the area has to offer.

bye bye
