Nha Trang 2nd Day

Today we traveled to several water fall parks in the Nha Trang area. The first park was a man made water fall area that was fed by a natural spring. We went exploring around and found a large pool of water to swim in. We relaxed and enjoyed reading our books in the shade for the most part of the morning.

The next park was an all natural park. Talk about rough terrain. The rocks around the stream where all granite. It had rained earlier that day so the rocks where supper slippery. Myself and the others fell several times as we made our way up the rough terrain towards the water fall. We picked up a guide along the way who assisted us with manuevering along the terrain. If it wasn't for her we would have made it through with a lot more bumps and bruises. The guide was a beautiful older vietnamese lady with large eyes and a round face. She had lived in the waterfall area for her entire life. Thank goodness she helped us out to reach the summit.

When we finally made it to the top. We cooled off by drenching ourselves under the water fall. It was so refreshing. We where drenched in sweat from the rough terrain we had just faced. After relaxing for an hour or so we decended the falls and met back up with the family.

We sat for awhile because again we where extrememly exhausted and alittle bunged up from the falling we did on the slip rocks. Thankfully no injuries.

When we got back to Nha Trang we cleaned up before dinner. Hong's parents took us out for Pho, a vietnamese noodle soup with beef. The rest of the family had eatten while we where adventuring around the waterfalls. We had the entire bus to ourselves. We took a night tour of the city on the bus to see the coastline at night.

Following dinner we met up with Hong's friends at the hotel to head out on the town. We then went to the night market where we purchased fresh mangos, asian pears, pineapple, and my favorite, dragon fruit. I absolutley love the fresh fruit in Vietnam its always a treat.

We all where exhausted from the adventures and we decided to call it another early night to recoop from the rough day.

Will update with pictures as soon as I cant get to a better internet connection!
