Mud baths and boat trips
On Sunday we went to a health spa type place, but this one had a difference, here are the stages:
Shower in mineral water; Wallow around in a huge tub of mud for 15 minutes; sunbathe to bake the mud on you; wash in the shower again; have jets of mineral water sprayed on you from all angles; go in a tub of hot mineral water for ages; stand under a mineral waterfall; swim in a mineral water swimming pool. Apparantly all that is very good for your skin and they claim it can cure all sorts of things from rheumatism to the lurgy. Whether it does or not, it was a very interesting and fun experience, we got some photos of it so look out for those soon.
Yesterday we went on an island tour with a guy called The Funky Monkey and it was very entertaining, firstly we went snorkelling, then the boat crew did some singing and dancing for us (the Nha Trang Boy Band), then we had a floating bar, which was based on a big rubber ring in the middle of the sea and was giving us a horrible tasting cocktail for free, we then went to a good beach before going to an aquarium to see all kinds of weird and wonderful fish.
In the evening we went out for a meal with some of the guys we had met on the trip and Mal & Simone, I had a very nice BBQ marinated tuna fish and a good time was had by all.
Today we are going to spend some time on the beach (though I burnt my back yesterday whilst snorkelling so I've got to be careful) and then at 6:30 tonight we head off on a 12 hour bus journey to Hoi An, which is where you can get cheap, but good quality tailor made clothes from. We'll be there for 3 or 4 days. I'll put some more photos on if we find a good internet cafe.
Leave us some comments, haven't heard from most of you for a long time.

I give in! I will leave you a comment as you keep asking. Sounds like you are both having an amazing time! I cant believe how busy you are both keeping! If it was me I prob wouldnt have moved from the beach or the markets.
As for me Im still considering going travelling and am looking into it. I am now single as me and rich broke up a couple of months ago. All is ok though, I am enjoying lots of nights out in taunton trying to live the student life! and still working my rubbish temp job.
Missing you loads here in England uni reunions are def not the same without you! Love to Sophie as well. Vicky xx

I suppose being 7 hours ahead you will be able to see most of the Ashes series live as clearly you have nothing else to do with your days?
