Nha Trang

Eve, here. After taking the night train from Saigon, we are in Nha Trang. The night train was super pleasant--although only hard sleepers were available, the beds were very comfortable, and everyone was so quiet. Sharp departure from Chinese trains, that's for sure. We arrived in Nha Trang at 5 am, still dark. We crossed the street, avoiding the touts and taxis, and sat down to have breakfast on the street. Amazing pho. Barbecue pork, noodles, shallots, plus condiments of thai basil, pickled garlic, hot pepper garlic sauce and cabbage. Yum. We checked into a hotel here, got cleaned up, and are ready to start our day! We're thinking we'll either lie on the beach or get a boat tour. The weather is perfect--not too hot, but not at all cold. Lovely.
