South China Sea

After 3 days on the back of motorcycle, taking in the beautiful countryside of the south and central highlands, I landed in Nha Trang, on the coast and had my first look at the South China Sea. Nha Trang is a hugely popular resort town, catering to both Vietnamese and foreign tourists. I imagine this is what Waikiki looked like 50 years ago. Some mid-rise hotels, but no glitz. The weather feels like Hawaii – mid-70’s and a nice breeze. I plan to stay for a few days here and celebrate Tet (New Year). I have been on the move since Siem Reap, and it will be good to rest.
