Mui Ne

So Traci and I continued a few hours up the coast to a little fishing town called Mui Ne. It's a very boring story to relate. The town has excellent winds yearround but Mr Proactive (me) didn't get around to renting any of the equipment--sailboat, board, kitesurfing rig etc--to enjoy it. The place is also famous as the Sahara of Vietnam for its large sanddunes. We didn't go see them. We did nothing but sit on the beach and read. Occasionally we ate some fish. One night we found ourselves in a deserted restaurant with better than average ambiance. The food was cheap, 3$ for what would have cost 20 in the states. But alas it was so empty the the bored owner/chef came out and played Gin with us for an hour before we left. He was pretty good.

We took one walk. It was blissful after visiting temples and museums of war crimes. On the way out we noticed how easy it would have been to rent a motorbike and go to the dunes ourselves, but the regret quickly turned into boredom then discomfort as we twiddled our thumbs through 16 hours of bus travel to Hoi An. It sucked. One all night bus ride too many and we booked plane tickets to Hanoi from here. 60$ or 16 hours overnight. We chose to part with the former, gladly.

Hoi An is quite nice. This is merely a quick update before we challenge ourselves to Fully enjoy the 20 cent beers several eateries have to offer and wake up for sunrise tomorrow morning. For a full update on this tailor town, check back soon.
