Mui Ne Beach, Vietnam

Mui Ne Beach has been a lovely beach paradise, located on a massive sandy bay. It is a quiet resort town at this time of year, as it is the off season for this kitesurfing and windsurfing mecca. We are staying at a beautiful resort where the rooms have all the modern amenities, beautifully decorated and the most attentive staff waiting to serve us at every moment. We feel like we are on our honeymoon and not that we are backpacking around the world!!! But due to this actually being the quietest time for traveling in Vietnam, we benefit with being able to afford posh resorts!! Fab! Also, another benefit to being the quiet season here, is that traditional Vietnamese life can be viewed on the beach. One morning we observed 100s of people pulling into the beach massive fishing nets that had been set by boat the night before. They were slowly, step by step bringing in the nets over hours in the morning heat. Once the nets were in, we could see their massive catch of fish and watch the people sort through and divide the fish among the individual families. It was very inspiring to see so many individuals come together to help each other for the greater good of the whole.

Justin has been learning to kitesurf over the last 4 days and he has now got it! He has that sparkle in his eye of excitement and is now officially addicted to this new sport in his life. It's good we have more time here for him to go play in the wind and the waves.

It has been wonderful to stay here as long as we have, but it is now time to press on and return to our backpacking lifestyle.

A few new pictures have been posted in our Vietnam Gallery.

Love to you all,

steff and Justin xoxo
