The Aussies booked out of their dorm and came and joined Megan and I (Jeanne was off to Hong Kong), they also booked onto our train north to Nha Trang - heralded as home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world! Our last night in Saigon was pretty epic, said goodbye with a bang! We ended up sneaking up to the roof of our hostel to watch the sunrise, it was really cool due to the fact unlike the rest of Asia Vietnam hasn't subscribed to building horrendously huge skyscrapers so the skyline is still interspersed with a great view.

Unfortunately, watching the sunrise means you don't get much sleep before the train ride from hell! We woke up feeling slightly worse for wear somehow got to the train station with minutes to spare, the journey lasted about 8 hours. For a distance of 411km, this is pretty long - it's because the Vietnamese, in all their wisdom, only laid a single track. This means that special lay-bys are used top let trains pass each other - a tedious process on it's own but coupled with the fact the average speed is 38km/hour, I was not a happy bunny.

We pulled into Nha Trang and intelligently didn't bother to even look into accommodation. Some funny exchanges with the locals and we got a taxi to the sea-front - we totally lucked out with a hotel. Phu Guy 3 was 100,000d (about 3.50GBP per person per night.) We got a room with two double beds overlooking the beach, access to a swimming pool, free wi-fi and 2 minutes walk from a pretty cool club!
