Nha Trang Stunt Riding Course

Today we explored Nha Trang a bit, as yesterday we were rained in so we spent most of the day in the hotel, only venturing out for breakfast and dinner. We set out initially by scooter which was terrifying and entertaining in equal measure. Okay, it was mostly terrifying as neither of us had been on a scooter much before, let alone both of us on one together so Kirsten was elected to drive while I got on the back. We got about ten minutes down the road before we decided it was probably safer for us and the population of Nha Trang if we don't drive a scooter. I took it back to the hotel while Kirsten was going to walk to the Long Son Pagoda, containing a huge statue of Buddha (14m tall) atop 155 steps and tiered gardens. There was a lesser Buddha down the road and that was the one Kirsten ended up at, while I got a cab from the hotel and ended up waiting by the large one. We didn’t have our phones with us and neither of us were sure where the other had ended up at but we eventually got it sorted out as after about an hour Kirsten wandered down to meet me at the proper one and we got underway. It’s a pretty magnificent example and set in some lovely gardens, well worth a visit. After that we had a well deserved drink with some people I’d gotten to know while waiting for Kirsten to come along. We headed along to the local railway station after that, tomorrow we travel to Danang by train and then to Hoi-An which we are both really looking forward to as it should be easy to explore on foot or by bicycle and we might also get some tailoring one. For our last night in Nha Trang we intend to go to a local restaurant we saw the other night, it had a lot of fresh fish and lobster out the front so we’re pretty keen on checking it out.
