R & R in Nha Trang 2




A warm welcome to the first readers from Lithuania, Jersey and Italy

Fishing in Nha Trang Harbour





  

Not sure how I ended up on this ride. What was I thinking? I never do frightening rides. By the afternoon Nha Trang was baking hot. Even in the sea breeze. Upside down at 150 feet. Sweat. The pheromones of fear. Great fun! You know you are alive in Nha Trang.

They also have a medium size rollercoaster here. Large enough to have you shouting for your mum.

Thap Ba Mud Baths



We chose the private mud bath package (500k VND total) and visited mid week at lunchtime. The "private" package is private in the way that you don't share mud with other patrons, not as in a private area (private tubs are all in a row). So if you wanted to act out a fantasy squealing like pigs frolicking in mud ...


Although these two had a crack at it!

Another dimension of Nha Trang


 One of the nicest beaches I have ever set foot on.

No hassle. Anywhere. The politest hawkers of squid, fruit and juices.

Not too prissy, posh or luxurious.

Nha Trang: a beautiful, relaxed, working city.

Visiting Bessho in the Japanese Alps

Image
Welcome to readers from Myanmar and Namibia Bessho, Ueda. The Asama shinkansen from Ueno station Tokyo took a supremely comfortable hour to roll into Ueda City. From there a small, six carriage, narrow gauge train called the Dentetsu took me on the thirty minute ride to the village of Bessho. I was there to feel the contrast with Tokyo’s greater metropolitan district populated by 44 million people and to visit the best example of a wooden temple in Japan. Even though Bessho had a population of 2361 people only a handful people were visible at any one time. It was quiet. Uematsuya At Uematsuya Ryokan What a nice surprise A matcha tea served within moments of my arrival The food at Uematsuya is outstanding. To stay for one night with breakfast and dinner cost around $60.  If you like matcha green tea visit:  Making matcha in Uji, Kyoto Here's something about staying in a Japanese Style Roo

Driving to the Russian border.

Image
It was an invigorating drive down from the Finnmark plateau. It took 7 hours and it snowed incessantly. The road was solid white like a toboggan run. We arrived in Ivalo, a large village razed by the Germans in 1945. Another 40 odd kilometres brought us to the border. There are two choices of border post. The official one at Raya Jooseppi on route 91 to Murmansk and the old border crossing at Paksuniemi.

Lofoten Dream

Image
So I am in the Arctic Circle again. It's otherworldly in the Lofoten Islands.  Snowstorms come out of nowhere. Driving the European route E4, a rhythm established itself - -  bridge, bend, tunnel, fjord, rain, sun, hail, snowmelt, then freeze, then sea eagle, bridge, bend, tunnel, fjord . . . Many travellers mention the tiny towns towards the end of the archipelago. Personally though I found the archipelago midsection utterly jawdropping. In fact I went back to it. Twice. Happy Travels everyone!
