A Short Break In Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh & Mui Ne

Ocean's Republic.

Took another break in Vietnam, one of my favorite destination. I like this place mainly because of the food & people. Spent 10 days there. Our initial plan was to spent some time at the beaches, but was cut short and moved back to Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) as the Typhoon Geami approached. We were at Mui Ne beach, Phant Thiet during the time when it strike, so had to cut off our trip to Nha Trang, and move back to Ho Chi Minh. Our neighbor, staying at the same guesthouse Mui Ne Hill 2 was diverted back from Nha Trang to Mui Ne after half a day's journey.
Mui Ne, Phan Thiet area is fun and is good for a

Mui Ne Hills.

short visit. The only dislike is the slow bus journey. It takes slightly more than 6 hours to reach Mui Ne from Ho Chi Minh. Due to the long journey, we spend 3 days there. Some of the eating places we visited were Ocean's Republic, Red & Blue & Hoang Vu.

Hives of activities at the fishing village.

The fishing village was full of activities in the morning. Fisherman bringing in their catches of the day.

White Sand Dune.

We visited the White Sand Dune, it was very hot in the afternoon. Had some fun time there doing sand sliding. As this is the first time, we ended up having sands all over. The sans here is extremely fine.

Kite Surfing.

Kite surfing is getting popular in Mui Ne. A couple of coaching school had spruce up on the beach. It looks fun watching these guys kite surf.











Spent a couple of days back in Ho Chi Minh. Most of the time we went searching for good food, from fine dinning to street food. Manage to find a VND 6,000 Tiger draft. La Villa French Restaurant tops the list. We had a marvelous dinner. the food was fantastic, especially the dessert. We again visited Fanny Ice Cream which we feel that it taste better in Ho Chi Minh than in Hanoi. This being the last vacation for me this year and it's back to work from now (in a few days' time).
