Mui Ne

Deciding not to spend my one full day in Mui Ne on a beach I hired a bike and cycled up to the main resort. There was not much to see other than a string of hotels punctuated bu restaurants and a few travel agents so I cycled back the other way, passed my hotel to Mui Ne town and then over to the Red Sand Dunes.

Not a bad place to have a little wood and metal house. Fisherman pulling in their nets and tiny fish drying in the sun.

First night in Mui Ne - there is a storm coming

Mr Star finds me a nice cheap hotel away from the main resort. However this means that my closest beach is not managed by a hotel but used by the fishermen...

... and is therefor covered in rubbish. Horrible

I walk along a bit and find a nicer beach

But when I get there I realise that there is a storm coming.... and so swiftly return to the hotel and run in the door just as the heavens open, much to the amusement of the proprietor.

Easy Rider Day 2 - Di Linh to Mui Ne

Day two was less sight seeing and more riding, we had to get to Mui Ne in time for Mr Star to ride al the way back to Da Lat the same night.

We passed the tea plantation and a rubbish dump

At one stage Mr Star dropped me in the Jungle to walk half a kilometre on my own while he rode on to wait for me at the bottom of the hill. As he drove passed me, I did wonder for a second, if he would indeed be waiting for me or if I had been abandend in the Jungle in the middle of Vietnam. Sure enough I came round the last bend and there he was. Phew!

I was very excited to see an avocado tree full of fruit.
