Nha Trang is the ultimate in tourist towns. Along with every tour you can think of, you can also rent a bike. So we did.

Hello, tourist! (countable noun joke there). |
First, a visit to the Cham Towers.
|
Born to be wild - and parking only 2,000VND! (10 cents) |
|
Cham Pongar Temple complex |
|
M inspects the Mother Goddess |
|
Cà phê sữa nóng ( say 'ca fey sir num') = coffee with milk = yum! (plus some tea) |
Then, we visited the Long Son Pagoda. The pagoda was closed, but we visited the Buddah statues on site. For a 'free' site we spent a lot on donations! And parking 10,000VND - Muc qua! (too expensive)

Buddha, Long Son Pagoda |
After lunch, a longer trip (17k) to Bai Dai beach. A beautiful spot, even if it does have some pollution problems. There are a number of restaurants build right on the beach. So close that the water is lapping the deckchairs.
We had some wonderful tasting squid, cooked fresh over coals at our table and served to us piece by piece as it came off the table bbq! Amazing.
