Vietnam ::Nha Trang::.

Waking up a little after 5am on the sleeper bus from Hoi An, Sauce and Mustard hopped off the bus and were scored by an American expat, offering them a room at his hotel, KS Song Long (Double Dragon) and a city tour on his motorbike for US$6.

During their city tour, the tropical storm from China Beach hit and the rain started pouring. Sauce and Mustard and Paul had to find shelter at a local eatery where Sauce got to enjoy Com Tam (Rice with grilled pork fillet and egg) for breakfast.(20,000ð)


Sauce and Mustard spent the rest of the morning walking along the beach and through some alley ways to the hot springs in the rain. They were soaking wet by the time they got to the hot springs but they got to exfoliate and rejuvenate their skin with a mud bath, mineral hot pool and heated mineral swimming pool.


That afternoon, Paul gave Sauce and Mustard some advice on where to find excellent tasty food with a budget. So for dinner, Sauce and Mustard got to try a variety of food at local prices. Banh Xeo (Crispy pancakes with baby squids and vegetables) for 2,500ð each, Com Ga (Chicken Rice with a chilly ginger sauce) for 25,000ð, Jelly cakes for 4,000ð and finished off with some mangoes and ice cream.



That night the storm hit on full fury and literd the beach with rubbish and debris. With the tropical paradise in ruin, Sauce and Mustard booked a ticket to Da Lat for 185,000ð/pax. The bus leaves from Ben xe phia nam (Inter-province coach terminal), but they provide a free hotel pick up service.
