Mui Ne

Only 2 hours of sleep last night, because we decided to go to Mui Ne early in the morning to avoid any rush hour. The plan worked fine and we arrived around 11 am in one of the hot spots in terms of ocean front living of Vietnam. Actually it's less crowded than NaTrang and that for still a little secret. They truly have nice resorts here, but we bypassed them to stay in a rather less luxury 'resort'. Jason promised me at least an air conditioned room. Well that was also the only equipment this place had. We were the only guests here and I felt a bit like in the movie 'Hostel'. Anyway - company is what matters and so we all went swimming and enjoyed the East Chinese Sea. Not many waves but clear and warm water. I guess the main reason for everybody to go was the luxury of having the freshest seafood you can have. Vendors right at the water were offering everything you can imagine. After you have chosen your fish or seafood of your liking they prepared it in front of yours eyes on a little portable grill. For me 'non seafood person' this certainly was not the highlight, but seeing everybody enjoying the food was good to see. The next time I will go back here, I would like to stay in a bit nicer place and spend 2 or 3 nights instead of 12 hours.
If you ever travel with a Vietnamese family of 11, be prepared to take some Advil along. The family of 'My big fat Greek wedding' is nothing compared to this breed. Oppa :-)

The night of our return we celebrated  the 16th birthday of Erik's sister at the Temple Club in district 1. A cool rooftop place with Vietnamese BBQ. After that we did a little motorbike tour around Saigon's city center followed by a little race to our famous street kitchen - see the video.

Tomorrow is my last day - time flies...
