Rain stopped play

Monday was a transit day - left the hotel and took a taxi to the railway station for the train to Nha Trang. We left Saigon bang on time at 12:20 and spent time trundling through the seemingly endless sprawl of Saigon before finally emerging into the countryside, then seven hours later arrived (again bang on time) into Nha Trang. A short taxi journey to the hotel where we stayed the rest of the night.

Unfortunately we have arrived in Nha Trang the same time as a monsoon - it hasn't stopped raining all day and isn't forecasted to stop for a few more days yet - so our plans for lounging on the beach and doing some snorkelling have had to be changed !

Today we braved the elements and went for a walk up the beachside promenade before visiting a 7th century Cham temple, before returning wet and bedraggled to the hotel to dry off. Tonight we will make a quick dash up the road for some food and drink, as for tomorrow, who knows !!
