My Travels: Vietnam Part 5

The next day Jojo and I went to Nha Trang to go and visit the beach.  To get there Jojo hired us a driver who had a big enough car to take us and some of her cousins.  I was so excited to go to a beach.  When I moved to Korea I thought I packed a swimming suit but as I was packing for this trip I found out I was wrong.  I couldn't find one, so I ended up finding the biggest one I could in Korea and had to make do with it.

The drive from Da Lat to Nha Trang was absolutely beautiful!  Along the way the driver stopped because she knew a beautiful stop we had to take pictures at.  She said I was lucky because you can't see this from the road and no tour buses stop here.  I'm so glad we stopped there because it was beautiful.

Jojo and her cousins that came with us.

Exploring around the rocks.

A little later as we where driving I couldn't believe the view from the top of the mountain.  It was so beautiful I was so glad that we stopped so I could take pictures. 

When we got to Nha Trang the first thing we did was go to the beach.  We had so much fun at the beach and it was so beautiful.

I was so surprised when one of Jojo's cousins wrote this for me with out any help.  I was so impressed she remembered how to spell my name.  She saw it written once the day before.

Such a beautiful beach.  I haven't been to one this beautiful before.  I was in love.

After spending hours at the beach we got tired and went back to our hotel.  We had a yummy dinner, they ate fresh fish and I found me some pizza to eat.  The sad part was part way through dinner I started feeling sick and left the dinner to go lay down.

Our hotel didn't let you take your key when you leave, you give it to the front desk and they check your ID.  I told Jojo to stay with and eat I would be okay without her getting into the room.  I went to the front desk to get the key and the lady asked what room I was in.  She called the room and then told me no one was there.  I told her I know nobody is there it is my room.  The problem is she spoke very little English and I know NO Vietnamese.  Finally she pulled out the drawer that had our ID's and my passport.  I pointed to my passport and she opened it to the picture.  She asked 'Friend?'  I was like, no that is me.  Finally I took the passport from her and held the picture up to my face and said 'Same same' pointing from the picture to me.  In Korea I knew that would work and just my luck it also works in Vietnam.  She handed me the key and I was finally able to go lay down.
