We are in Vietnam!!! We got here yesterday. The bus ride was 6 hours to Saigon city which is the capital of Vietnam. We then took another bus ride to Mui Ne which is a beach town 3 hours East on the coast of Vietnam. We are staying at a beatiful resort with a pool and majority Russian tourists. We also visited a Russian Sushi bar/Club last night. There was a saxaphonist playing old Russian tunes and a gang of bandits that were playing pool in the back (typical). This island is really popular for Kite Surfing. Ive never seen this before but it looks very difficult. The basics: you get a kite that inlfates, a surf board and a life jacket. You must balance yourself on the board while holding on to the kite. The winds and waves are quite high so the speeds people can achieve are very fast. Now you see them, soon you don't. When you look at the ocean, it is full of colourful kites with people holding on for dear life. Mom and Charlene don't worry we are not going to this activity.
Some things to note: Marc has become quite the negotiator. He negotiates at every hotel and every market, if he doesnt like the price he just walks away and leaves me to play the good cop. I am quite impressed. As well, his hair is getting really long and uncontrollable. He is really close to shaving his head. I checked and put his biggest fear to rest, he does not have an egg like head. If feels quite normal. I promise to take pictures of the event and post them for you to see.
