We survived the train! Just about

We were awoken on the train at about 5am when the family below us decided it was time for their breakfast! We'd had 6 hours of very broken sleep and unfortunately I don't think either of us had another sleep after that point. I've developed a cold so that was keeping me up most of the night and combined with a very rocky train it wasn't the most pleasant of journies, but we made it! I was feeling rather rough indeed but we only have two days in Nha Trang so I wasn't going to let it stop us. We managed to check in earlier and got changed before heading to a water and theme park amusement island, the best in Vietnam apparently! We rode the cable car across to the island which had a very annoying women saying the same thing over and over about the island in about 4 languages. I think we know her speech off by heart now! The park was pretty cool indeed. It had some small rides, not Alton Tower standard, a water park, aquarium and various other attractions. We spent the morning on the rides thinking it'll be better to get those done and then head to the water park to cool off. It was so hot and Nick felt ill after the pirate ship, bless him, so we went for lunch instead and then hit the water rides. We mainly stuck to rides which we could go down together on a two person float which was nicer to be able to enjoy it together. Nick's favourite would of course be the lazy river! He greatly enjoyed pretending the be a pirate or a cracken and try to tip my rubber ring over. We stayed on the rides for hours before collecting our things from the locker and heading to the aquarium. Unfortunately at this point the tiredness and illness really hit me so we didn't spent too long walking round. After some much needed rest and food we decided to head back to the cable car. Luckily by chance as we were walking we saw down an alleyway a water and light show that was starting so we sat and watched the first few songs of the show. It was a pretty incredible sight even when feeling rubbish. We beat the crowds to the cable car and didn't really enjoy our windy and rocky 12 minutes ride back in the dark. It was very cool to see the Eiffel Tower inspired pillars that hold up the cable car all lit up at night though. We returned to the hotel for a much needed shower and sleep with the hope of feeling better tomorrow!Read more
