Rodney & Sheryl's Travels: 3/15 - Nha Trang, Vietnam

Nha Trang is the capital of Khanh Hoa Province, Vietnam. Well known for its pristine beaches and excellent scuba diving, it is fast becoming a popular destination for international tourists (it is already very popular with Vietnamese tourists), attracting large numbers of backpackers on the Southeast Asia circuit. Nha Trang used to be a quiet fishing village and as little as to years ago it was still pretty sleepy, however, recent government and private investments have transformed it into a thriving beachside resort-town with a gorgeous beach promenade several miles long and a variety of hotels ranging from brand-new five-star venues along the waterfront to small, family run hotels.1

Definitely one of the nicest places we have visited in Vietnam. The beaches are absolutely gorgeous. After collecting our compulsory bucket of sand, we headed to Cho Dam (Central Market) where we wandered around the hundreds of little booths for about an hour. We relaxed at a little beer stand and enjoyed a Bia Saigon ($1.00 each!) before heading back to the ship. It was a very hot and humid day, so we were happy to get back to our little air conditioned room and just enjoy the view.
