Mui Ne

Mui Ne was such a great surprise. It is a small town build along a lovely beach in South Vietnam and not totally overrun with tourists. We found great accommodation with a pool, which was great as the weather was amazing but sometimes the sea was quite rough. We liked the place so much that we instantly upped our stay from 2 nights to 3.

We rented bicycles, unfortunately Orla was forbidden from photographing Ronan on his girlie bike (the only one available) with a lovely basket at the front. They did the job though and we got to cycle out to a great sunset spot and then the next morning we got up early and cycled 15kms out to view some red sand dunes. These were great but the views along the way were also lovely, especially the small fishing village and harbor.

Mui Ne is a great place to chill for a few days with tasty seafood (at fantastic prices) and even some Vietnamese wine, which to our surprise is very drinkable indeed, so after tasting a bottle it was only right that we headed to the source about 1500m above sea level in the mountains of central highlands!
