We've been taking it pretty easy the last week really... eating, sleeping and chilling out! Over the last two days the weather hasn't been fantastic, quite overcast, but still warm enough to sit on the beach. Nha Trang has a few other bits we would like to do before we leave, like the Mud Baths and maybe visit some local islands, but we're thinking we might spend Christmas here so we have plenty of time.
There are a lot of people trying to sell you things on the street in Nha Trang, similar to other places we have already visited, but they try so much harder here! Yesterday we spent the day on the beach and were accosted every two minutes on average and they sit down next to you, get you talking and then try and sell you something. If you say no, they try and make you feel guilty about how they have no money and have kids to bring up. Although we're getting pretty good at ignoring them now and they start to recognise us and give up sooner. One lady yesterday had some tasty looking fresh fruit so we did buy a pineapple from her, and it definitely wasn't because she told us she had a big knife that she would use it to cut our toes off. She saw us again today and wouldn't give up, so I made a deal with her, I'd buy some bananas from her if I could take a photo of her!
Crazy fruit lady lent Izzy her hat...
...and chucked in a couple of lychees for us!
I'll let you know what the Mud Baths are like if we go tomorrow.
Nice photo of Izzy though I'm not sure of the company she is keeping. Its very rude for that lady to be swearing at a passer by!
