The further South we travel, the hotter it gets!
We spent our last day in Hoi An yesterday doing a cooking course where we learned how to make a couple of different types of spring rolls and some sort of fish in a lemongrass and chilli sauce. Then after learning how to cook it we got to eat it and it was awesome!
After our cooking class we cycled out to the amazing Cau Dai beach near Hoi An, where we had a refreshing dip in the sea. Unfortunately that was as good as it got because in the evening we had to board a nightbus bound for Nha Trang. Charlotte managed to sleep pretty well, but I think I got about 20 minutes kip! It was a weird bus with 3 aisles of bunk beds, but they weren't proper beds and obviously weren't designed with big fat westerners in mind! I couldn't even fit both my feet in!
We arrived at Nha Trang at about 6am and its pretty nice, although its just basically a big beach resort. After breakfast we headed out to a spa in Nha Trang where they have mud baths and pools heated by hot springs. We got to lie in the mud pools for about 20 minutes before letting it dry in the sun and then rinsing it off. Then we went into one of the hot spring pools, had a further shower under a waterfall and then a final swim in a hot swimming pool. It was pretty relaxing.
We spent this afternoon walking across Nha Trang to see a massive white Bhudda that sits on top of the hill. One of the monks who was talking to us patted my belly while pointing at the Bhudda statue. Cheeky fucker. Nha Trang is pretty busy and dodging the traffic is fun. There seems to be alot of poor people in this area and as we walked across town there were alot more people begging.
Going to try and put more pics up now... don't hold your breath.
Take care,
Euan and Charlotte

Hi you two - mud baths sound great! Bus sounds scary! Son I don't think you should be referring to Buddhist brothers in such a way although I do concede he did show some insensitivity. Perhaps he thought that rubbing your belly would bring him good luck! Looking forward to the photos. It's thunder and lightning here - very dark - dogs don't like it. Take care love you both - mum x
