• Nha Trang Inn, Nha Trang, Day 3

    October 14, 2017 in Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    An early wake up today as we head out snorkelling. We get picked up and taking to the docks, where we wait half an hour before setting off on a long journey to the snorkelling spot.
    After a few minutes of being under water everyone notices something strange. We are all getting stung. At first we can't see why, but as we get closer to the coral we notice hundreds of jellyfish swarming around. We swim through them for a bit as they are only small and we feel they may not be too bad, but the overall number of them is too much to take in the end and we all soon get back on the boat and nurse our wounds.
    We move to a different spot, and again get in, this time wary of anything resembling a jellyfish. This spot is a lot better thank God, and we actually get some time swimming around the coral and the fish without being stung. It's a great coral, and some of the fish are beautiful, coming in all sizes and colours. After around 45 minutes we are back on the boat, and are served a feast of food. It's a lovely meal, and one much needed after the morning swimming.
    It tires us out and we spend the rest of the day relaxing (apart from eating a lovely fish and chips) and get ready for another day on a bus tomorrow.
