Na Trang is the costa del sol of Vietnam. The seafront is littered with huge non-descript international hotels, bars and disco's. We arrive off the night bus at the office of Cuc Tung at 6am and have a nice Banh Mi (baguette) and Ca Phe from a street seller while waiting for the office to open.

It opens at 7am and a miserable man rudely tells us that we should have booked the ticket the day before. We complained that we'd tried yesterday but he shrugs and tells us we'll now have to go tomorrow, then rides off on his moped. Er OK, we'll just stay in Na Trang then shall we! Out of pure annoyance I'd just like to post
this link to someone having a mega-moan about Cuc Tung.

We book the ticket for same time next morning and check into a nice little guest house (Cam Tien - $10 for an a/c double) and proceeded to be bored by Na Trang. The beach itself wasn't too bad though and I sat and watched the kite surfers for quite a while. I also liked the lit Eiffel tower cable supports over to Pearl island, or whatever it's called. This really could be any generic beach resort in the world if it wasn't for the communist reminders dotted amongst the capitalist backdrop. I feel like I've written too much about this place already.
