Floating Bar – A Day in Nha Trang, Vietnam
One of the highlights of our travel up the Vietnamese coast has got to be being a Vietnamese tourist for the day, we were the only non-Vietnamese on the boat trip that took off from Nha Trang and visited 4 islands, it included a ramshackle live band, great food and a floating bar!
The day went like this:
Book a boat trip…
Ram far too many people onto a pretty small boat…
Go visit some islands…
Watch a crazy Vietnamese band…
Dance with the man with the coconut bikini, then jump of the boat, float around on rubber rings and atempt to drink Vietnamese red wine and pineapple whilst staying afloat… Awesome!
and get paddled around in a basket at a fishing village…
After the boat trip we enjoyed yet another Vietnamese baquette (there really nice and cost almost nothing!)…
After the baguette we headed to main beach to watch the locals flying kites as the sunset…
In Nha Trang we stayed at Kim Ugen it was 6$ for a room with a/c and a balcony. Very nice!

[...] up to coast of Vietnam its not easy to avoid the main tourist spots but a stop in the resort of Nha Trang will give you a Vietnamese tourist [...]

Dear Benedict,
My name's Hai Anh from Nha Trang. I am designing a questionnaire for my survey about backpacker's satisfactions in Nha Trang. It's my honour to be helped by you. If possible, would you please give me your email, and I send it to you.
Thank you for your consideration and looking forward to your reply.
P/S: Thank you for your nice impressions about our sweet hometown, Nha Trang. If you love to sight seeing, there's a lot of really wild, nice places to enjoy in Nha Trang: Mui Ke Ga, Hon Ba, Dien Khanh Citadel, Yang bay waterfall etc.

This is the first time, I see people in a basket. That image is indeed funny. I am gonna build the floating bar myself for the next pool party.
