Morning in Múi Ne

I am writing this post at the crack of dawn as we wait for our bus to take us from Múi Ne to the costal town of Vung Tau. My last three posts were all written on a bus, this bus however is slightly more "local"; no aircon, seats in the aisle and a driver that speaks no English. Lucky for us its much cooler today as we woke up to a thunder storm.

So how was Múi Ne? Its by far the quietest place we have visited in Vietnam. The place is built around a small fishing village and stretch of beach. The coast line has been littered with large resorts however none were full, with tourists being quite scarce in the town. There is not much to do here other than their half day tour of the town and local area. For five dollas we rented a jeep and drove around the town stopping off at the fairy river and waterfall, fishing  village and red and white sand dunes.

We walked up the fairy river bear foot all the way to the waterfall.  Not the best we've seen as we now see ourselves becoming waterfall snobs! Still the silt river gave the old flip flop feet a good scrub!

The red and white sand dunes were huge. Mountains of sand broke up the coastal lansdscape. They created epic views down the coast, casting shadows down the road. Quad bikes zipped through the dunes as people attempted to slide down on plastic sledges. The coloir of the dubes was a rich golden and firey red the grains so small it felt like silk under foot. Safe to say the selfie stick came out for this landscape!

The fishing village floats out in the bay. Hundreds of local fishing longboats line up with the days freshest catch. The waves were quite choppy here and the coast is a good place for wind surfing.

With the local fishing village supplying the village the restaurant's on the sea front cook up some of the best fish dishes ive ever had. The taste of their grilled fish on the sea front with a view down the beach is something else.

Great place to chill out in the sleep village Mui Ne cracking food a the Saigon beers seems to be getting cheaper the further south we head!
