Laid back and enjoying it!

Friday 19th January 2007

A very different day today. A lie in – we didn’t meet up till 9 am and then the coach took us to the boat. It was a private boat, just for our group, and it took us to the island of Mun about 20 minutes away. You can see all the islands from Nha Trang. When we anchored we changed and swam and snorkelled. Although there was some cloud, it was very warm and the water was wonderfully warm and clear. On the coach, Chi had told us that we could have a massage on the boat. Three young Vietnames women came on the boat with us, and once the first guinea pig had tried the massage, just about everyone had a go.
They folded down some of the seats on the boat so they made flat platforms and off they went. But best of all, the also did pedicures and foot treatments, so after Sid had his full body massage (no, don’t let your imagination run away with you, he had shorts on and it was in full view of all passengers) I had my feet done and a back massage. It was lovely.

Then, when the temporary ‘massage table’ was cleared, along came a very appetising buffet lunch.
A bit more snorkelling and then back to Nha Trang to visit the Chan temple, 10th century, and not of huge interest to us, but it was only a ten minute visit, so that was fine. This afternoon Sid and I just wandered down to the beach with our books, and we intend to have a light meal this evening and an early night to prepare for tomorrow’s 100km, which Chi promises, is ‘mainly flat’.
