Most people take the direct bus from Nha Trang to Saigon, but you would miss a real highlight of Vietnam – the hidden Gem Mui Ne.
Getting popular by Saigon`s expats as closest beach resort area it offers a 10km white powder beach with a good infrastructure of resorts and restaurants. The perfect place to escape the buzzing city life over a weekend or more.
So we lay back in one of the sleeping busses and in less than 5 hours we reached the main beach area where we got a beachfront bungalow at Indochina dreams for just 30U$.
This is the place to relax and unwind…
After a day on the beach our restless souls were already asking for more to do and see. So we rent a motorbike and hiked the fairy springs walk to the famous red sand dunes where you have a great view during the noon hours.
On the way the huge sand dunes we pass the fishing village which looks like a Roland Emmerich Epic Move with thousands of fishing boats. Not only the view as well the smell was impressive ;-)
Arrived at the sand dunes we got our private sledge master who is showing us the best spot the slide down the sand with his rented plastic cupboards.
It`s fun for every age and somehow a good donation to local people.
After several down hills we turned ourselves into the famous Austrian Milanese cutlet – the Wiener Schnitzel!
Finishing this day with an Arabian sunset in the desert and a matching Indian dinner we really felt sorry to leave already tomorrow to Saigon …
