Day 1 Itinerary
Places visited: Quán Hải Sản Thảo Vy - Lenid Hotel - Ba Ho Waterfalls Cliff Jumping - Beach
Food!
Flew from Nanjing and arrived in Nha Trang around 1am. Our large group eventually got checked in at the hotel and then I decided to go for a walk with Khaled, Nadine and Elsa and found this place in a random side street. This was our first taste of Vietnamese food and it was love at first bite!
The view from our room
The view from the balcony of the room I shared with my dear friend, Chloe.
Chasing Waterfalls
Our first day there and our only one free from the group. We looked up some waterfalls and walks to do in the area and we were pleasantly surprised by this absolute gem of a spot!
Beach
After we’d had some fun at the waterfalls, we made our way down to the beach for more swimming and a walk to the bar area to check out the nightlife. We loved it so much it became our nightly routine!
Day 2 Itinerary
Places visited: Quảng trường Ave Maria - Thác Yang Bay
Quảng trường Ave Maria
I wish we could’ve gone to actually see this cathedral, but of course, with tours they have to keep moving.
A nature reserve?
After our drive-by cathedral viewing, we got to this beautiful place where we were taken around to see some animals and then to enjoy the water and watch a short performance.
Day 3 Itinerary
Places visited: Ресторан Story
Nadine’s Birthday
After a long day of being dragged to different shops and markets with the tour group, we got the afternoon and evening off which we pretty much spent searching for places to eat and drink cocktails! And, same as every other night, we ended up in Z Club🙈
Day 4 Itinerary
Places visited: Viettel Building Khanh Hoa - Ponagar Tower
A much-needed break from alcohol and sun
While everyone else was shopping, a handful of us found this tiny coffee shop and bought some things to nurse our hangovers. The irony of their choice of words was not lost on us.
Ponagar Tower
This was the first temple I’d ever visited (despite having lived in China for 5 months at this point).
Day 5 Itinerary
Places visited: Lenid Hotel
Bye-bye Nha Trang ☹️
One last photo from a room I barely used...
