Mud bath. Like pigs.

Day 13: Nha Trang! Mud.

We arrived in Nha Trang this morning and set off walking towards our hotel. We soon realised that the map was wrong as our hotel was not there. (There was a similarly named museum though!) So we got a taxi to our hotel and got organised, made friends with the reception girl, and went to the beach! The waves were really strong… Like super strong current so we didnt really swim, just layed on the beach for a while. Then we realised the sunscreen we bought was dodgy (claimed SPF 90) and we were burning so we went back to the guesthouse and thought we might go to the mud baths.

The cute receptionist organised them to pick us up in like 5 mins so she was like running up the stairs telling us to be quick hahaha she was so nice.

We got to the mud baths and organised mud bath entry and a massage.

It was sooo cool. We got to a big empty bath and we were with an old Israeli man as well, and we got in and they turned on the tap and sooo much mud came out. It’s not very thick though, it’s like runny mud. It feels so weird at first, but so exfoliating and nice. We had little buckets so we poured it all over us and put our faces in it aaand it was awesome. We took pictures on Crouton’s camera.

Then we went through a range of mineral showers and baths to clean the mud off, so we could use the pools and swim under the waterfall, which was also really fun.

We went to find where our massages were and finally found them. They were two little asian girls. We were put in separate rooms and the massage involved them walking on us, pulling our hair and cracking our necks. It was awesome.

After the finished they showed us a form with Very Good already checked and asked for a tip. So strange. We gave them a dollar.

We got back to our hotel and then went for a walk to book our next bus trip. On the way we saw a cool place that had vegetarian so we went there on the way back and had a feast of fresh and fried spring rolls. Nom.

I was super tired after our feast and may have passed out at like 8 but then I ended up waking up like 15 mins later so we went for a walk along the beach and found some night markets! They were mostly same same so we didnt buy anything. Crouton tried on a dress and then felt bad that she didnt like it, they have a way of making you feel guilty for not buying things.

When we went back to the hotel our receptionist (Ainh) (Ann?) had organised our Vinpearl Land tickets for us. So great. So that would be tomorrows adventure!
