Mui Ne

So after the chaos of Saigon it was nice to be heading the Mui Ne for some rest and relaxation on the beach!

We managed to find another bargain room when we got off the bus. $10 US a night for double room ensuite, TV, hot water and AC.
We spent the first afternoon walking up the beach, and found a nice local restaurant on the sea front for sunset beers and dinner later that evening...

Next day we were up quite early, spending the morning at the beach.... Becs floating in her rubber ring..

That afternoon we took a tour to the sand dunes..
First stop the 'Stream' to see some sand formations..

Wallking Barfoot upstream..

Different sand colours and formations...

Sinking sand..

Next stop the view of the fishing village..

Driving in our 4x4 we thought our driver might take us onto the sand dunes...

but when we arrived we could only go by foot - or hire a quad bike...

The sand dunes went on for miles...

Last stop was the red sand dunes for sunset...

and what an amazing sunset..

Mui Ne is a nice little seaside resort, mainly geared around tourists. It just as one main street that runs parallel to the beach where all the accommodation, restaurants and tour agencies. The beach is 11km long and one of the better Vietnamese beaches we have come across so far.
enough of the sun, sea and sand - next stop up to the mountains!!
