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.

Pariah Dog

First of all a big thankyou to Lonely Planet for following this blog on Twitter. The Pariah Dog: Part II A few more thoughts on my favourite subject. The Pariah Dog. These creatures exist in poetic contradistinction to the pampered dogs of the UK, the King Charles spaniel always comes to mind here. I can also boast a co-researcher, a rather alert Danish woman called Mette I met in Varkala, Kerala, who demonstrated considerable acumen when it came to this curious species, the feral canines of the highways. The Pariah Dog leaves no droppings whatsoever. In Paris spoilt pooches, holed up in apartments leave odd orange waste behing them, in England larger droppings can be found. In India droppings are, incredibly, completely absent. The P Dog sets up night communication in waves of howls that run across palm groves and beaches. Like coyotes the howls spring up in an automatic way and all dogs join in. The pack behaviour also appeared when a European family rolled up with two Golden

R & R in Nha Trang

I would like welcome the first Chinese readers to GuerillaZ. Ni Hao. 是 And a big thankyou to all readers of Nha Trang. The number of readers of this post is still ahead of any other post. Thankyou. Cam on. спасибо. Nha Trang R & R This city was where US troops came on their rest days. For R & R. It is perfect for that. A commercial beach resort but somehow not really. There is plenty of available beach away from the sun loungers and umbrellas. How Nha Trang makes me feel:   www.youtube.com/watch?v=94qlBDqQCAM 'Remember Me' by Tame Impala US Troops arriving at Nha Trang, 1968 The year 1968 was a key year in the war against US forces. The turning point. The Tet offensive. The brilliant general Võ Nguyên Giáp , also the victor at Dien Bien Phu (when the French were finally forced from Viet Nam) was assumed to be behind The Tet offensive but it was not the case. He disapproved of the plan. For this blog it is the beginning

Fuji-ko

Welcome to readers from Taiwan, South Korea, China and Peru Mount Fuji from my window in Narusawa.  Narusawa really was such a small village. It sad astride the equivalent of a B road. Like most villages in England you could walk around it and barely see anyone. On one side was an escarpment with pine trees on its upper reaches. On the other side of the village woods that gave out to the rising landmass of Fuji itself. You needed some kind of permit to climb Fuji and well I've more or less stopped climbing now unless it is on a bicycle. Fuji from space The tallest mountain in Japan Fuji stands at 3776 metres. Each year around 250, 000 climbers scale Fuji. In the non-climbing season another estimated 150, 000 manage it. It is the most visited peak in the world. The View from the summit, c 1910 Being near Fuji  draws out the impulse to be blase. From its base Fuji looks like a stroll with some slippery stuff halfway up. The Eiger, Mont Blanc, Popoca
