We arrive in the coastal town of Nha Trang which is a popular tourist area. We hear many foreign accents, Russian, French, German and Australian. Vietnam is a popular destination from Australia since it is the closest to Vietnam. In the morning we took a boat to their version of Seaworld - cement sea animals and a huge cement ship that houses an aquarium and gift shop. And the fish and eels really are that big. After Amy's hat blew into the lagoon, our guide's nephew insisted on climbing down to get it. Alot of bravery for a $2 hat.

After lunch we went to the famous mud baths. Everyone got sticky in the mud, including me after I took everyone's photo. The minerals in the mud are supposed to rejuvenate to the skin. Does Mike look younger? The best part was the swimming pool that was naturally heated by the hot springs. We splashed in the pool with our friends for a long time and visited with some of the tourists. One couple was from San Francisco and was traveling for 5 months through southeast Asia.
