Nha Thrang is a nice place. The beach is grand but a little dirty and the waves were seriously huge (bigger than Bondi) making it impossible to swim! The place we stayed in was great with a nice roof top terrace.
The snorkelling around here is supposed to be great so we headed out on a snorkelling trip to visit some of the nearby islands. Unfortunately we picked a windy day and so at the first snorkelling stop we spent more time helping/rescuing people from the water (while the staff watched and shouted in vietnamese!!!). Despite the poor snorkelling we had a great time and the lunch buffet served on the boat was fabulous, we were then treated to the "floating bar". This consisted of our guide sitting in a tube with a crate of red wine bottles floating around him. We all jumped off the roof of the boat, were thrown floating rings and then fed free wine until it was all gone. I'm sure the boats insurance company charged a lot for this level of safety!!! It was great fun though! Next island stop allowed Ro time to display his volleyball skills andthen we headed to an aquarium where we got up close and fed some sea turtles.
That night we got in some roof top poker, a few beers and some ipod music - felt like we were at home. We then headed for Hoi An.
