What an amazing Vietnam! Mui Ne.

For the past two days, I don't know where to start. it has been an amazing time not only from experience point of view, but most of all that I got surprised so much that I am still speechless.

But first things first...



Relaxing on the beach, just me and the sea

There were some heavy storms over this part of globe this week, and in South Vietnam the rainy season started, not letting me fulfill my plan for Can Tho floating markets. So I must apologize to the nice gentleman with his boat that even though we had a date for 5:30 am on Wednesday, I did not arrive. It had been raining since the day before and my previous date with the same gentleman ended a little bit in the rain, but still manageable as the Mekong views were amazing. I will try and post photo or two for a flavor. So I was a bit disappointed but I think I needed a break from the crazy traveling as I enjoyed staying in bed a bit longer. All in all Wednesday turned out to be dedicated to bus-travels.
I committed not to use any taxi that day (I mean motorcycle ;)) and so I had to find out about all the local buses and take the right ones and arrive on time to get on another bus etc. Not everywhere people were knowledgeable enough to push me in the right direction but what's more important, in the most critical moment when switching from a private bus operator to get to another part of the city for a different bus operator, I went to the familiar district 1 with the same bus I had used before and there at the station I knew that staff were friendly enough to give me the correct bus number onwards. And so it was.
