Relax, exotic, relax
Somehow, immediately upon arrival, it was not possible to write a review. And recently I read a review about Sri Lanka by a wonderful traveler, and the words sunk into my soul.
I quote: "I wrote, frankly, more for myself. Over time, the details are erased, and then it will be so pleasant to read! And while writing, I experienced it all over again! "
So I decided to write and experience it all over again.
And in general, in my opinion, the process of travel is divided into three parts.
The first is preparation (Internet, fees, shopping);
the second is the journey itself,
and the third is to share the joy of the received emotions with those people "who are in the know. "
When we were in Thailand, we were very crazy about everything we saw (nature, smiling people, general atmosphere). And many people being there told us that they were in Vietnam - it’s even cooler there. We remember it.
And once again, the work went on vacation (January after all), the soul demanded relaxation, and the girls from the Luck Tour agency, as always, picked up a wonderful offer that we could not refuse))). And we flew to Nha Trang.
The four of us flew (in general, it’s more fun to travel with a company than together).
Departure from Borispol. We arrived there by car. At the airport, everything went smoothly and without complaints. (Tip: 3 km from the airport parking is 5 times cheaper than at the airport).
The flight is long, but the tablets speed it up very much. Just the charge is enough for the flight.
We arrived early in the morning (an airport in Vietnam is a separate song), took our suitcases, found a guide.
We were put on a big bus. But we are already scientists, so we immediately ask how far to go and how many hotels are in front of us, and how many tourists are still missing to complete the set.
The girl guide quickly understood us and took us to the taxi drivers. There, for $20, they kindly agreed to take us to the hotel.
And here we are going ...across the Crimea. Beautiful, but somehow "at home"))). The journey took 50 minutes.
Along the way, the number of mopeds is shocking ...And somehow everyone goes without crashing ...
We were seated quickly. The Ocean Bay 2 * hotel looks like a solid 4 * inside. Gave rooms with a cool view (and the rooms themselves are cool). Nothing superfluous, but everything is neat and beautiful. The floor is the last, so above us is a whole terrace with a gorgeous panorama (forward - to the sea, back - to the city).
We swim, unpack our bags, change clothes, and slowly go for a walk in full readiness to plunge into the flavor of local life (it's time to eat).
Downstairs at the reception we see a crowd of tourists getting off our bus, which we did not go on. Hmm ...$ 20 for four turned out to be an extremely profitable investment - we won 2 hours and settled without haste in the coolest rooms. In fact, saved half a day.
We went out - we go on foot - we examine the surroundings. We went to the first stall - changed some money.
Baaa, yes they are all millionaires there))).
Found a decent cafe. Opachki, a problem...The Vietnamese don't understand English very well.....This is a joke...Well, we ordered some coffee and tea...We are waiting...And it's beautiful around...We are bastard...After flights have not departed yet. . But in general - relaxation))).
They bring coffee...ice cold...
-What the hell is this? ? ?
- Why is it cold? ? ?
-My don't understand yours (they nod and smile silently all the time).
Damn, how can I explain that to them ...
In general, somehow they understood and brought a kettle of boiling water...
The coffee turned out to be kind of strange ...Well, in general, we drank and went for a walk (look for a cafe where they can understand what exactly we want to eat, and they can explain what kind of scribbles are written on the menu).
We climbed around the center, stopped at the "fish restaurant" MYOYDO. The prices are reasonable - the food is fresh and tasty, the interior ...for an amateur))).
We got to Gorky Park (written in Russian). There, in principle, everything is civilized: sun loungers, Wi-Fi, cafes. We lay there, but we couldn't swim - the water was cold.
My friend, his friend, who was already here, gave the contacts of a good owner of the travel agency, and said to definitely try the cobra. It's officially banned here.
We went to look for a local bazaar and a sim card.
We walked three kilometers, found some kind of stall, bought a SIM card. The market was never found. We called the travel agency. The Vietnamese owner came running, met us, took us to his agency, told us what was what.
We took 5 excursions at once and received a trip to Winpearl Island and a foot massage as a gift))). For the cobra - he said, he will organize when you say.
In the evening, Nha Trang is lit up like a Christmas tree - cool.
We walk, we go to the Nha Trang center, we buy up - the prices are normal.
We take a taxi home and spend the rest of the amazing evening in the great company of the four of us, on the rooftop terrace of the hotel with a stunning view of the city at night. (We then every evening enjoyed the impressions of the day).
In the morning we go on an excursion to Dalat.
We got a super guide - Zhenya.
https://vk. com/nashtrikotag (this is his contact page)
He entertained us all the way and three hours along the mountain serpentine flew by unnoticed.
Dalat is worth a visit - it's beautiful there. We looked at coffee plantations, walked around a beautiful park, visited a beautiful temple, made a wish in a bell, drank cool coffee in a store, and bought it there. Coffee Luwak with an admixture of Arabica was my favorite.
Chip: in Vietnam, coffee is roasted in oil and it is fatty - I liked it.
With Zhenya's light hand, we get to the Flower Park - amazingly beautiful.
There it is not always open, in general, we were lucky.
We returned late. We descended from the mountains, and the fog tried to cover us all the way - beautiful ...
The next day Spa procedures, mud baths - in "100 eggs".
In my opinion this is the best SPA complex in Nha Trang. There we protruded to the fullest. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
And after it we went to a gift foot massage and ...everyone fell asleep))). Kayfovo massage))).
Then on the third day there were the Southern Islands (incredible beauty) with diving and fishing villages along the way. Be sure to try the fish cooked right in front of you. I don't remember a better fish.
Our travel agency brought us everywhere first, and we could enjoy the beauty of the islands for a while with a small group of people (this is + karma for them))).
Day four: crocodile farm (it is interesting to feed crocodiles from a fishing rod), Yangbei Waterfall and Monkey Island. There are really a lot of monkeys, they are fun to feed and they can steal something from you if you gape.
Day five: Zoklet beach.
I really liked the view of the beach and the territory, but there was a strong wind and it was not really possible to lie down, but we still enjoyed it.
Day six: Vinpearl - an island of entertainment.
A sort of water park and Disneyland in the Vietnamese manner.
The coolest attraction - electric sleigh! .
I drove three times - you go up high up the mountain, and then on a sleigh down the rails - super, only the main thing is that the timid ones do not go ahead, otherwise it’s not interesting slowly.
I liked everything on the island, but there are several disadvantages:
The food is only fast food (and you can't bring your own food).
The beach is free and the number of sun loungers is limited.
To take them you have to say goodbye to the gate (which opens at 10.00) and then win a short distance race!
Joking aside, people really run headlong for about 200 meters to take a sunbed.
On the last day we went to the SPA "I resort".
It's good there, but "100 eggs" is definitely better, newer, bigger, prettier))).
General impressions. Did you like it? Definitely yes.
Especially pioneers in ties, and morning exercises for all who are old and young.
Vietnam has its own charm, although it seemed to me that Thailand (Krabi) is brighter and more exotic, but you need to visit both there and there. Leaving, got a song
A SONG CAN TOUCH YOUR SOUL - HELLO VIETNAM - XIN CHAO HA LONG.
Under this song, downloaded to the phone, we left))). Now I listen and understand - how cool we had a time))). What I wish for all of you. Enjoy life more often))). Happy and happy travels to all.
There will be questions - write)))
As always, special thanks to the travel agency "Udacha-Tour"
Kramatorsk for organizing our trip.
