Fairy stream and white sand dunes

Today we had our first tour and one of the reasons we chose Mui Ne.

The morning consisted of hanging out in the kids area and game area. I thought the kids would be too old for a play centre but when you have it all to yourselves you can do whatever you want.

There was also billiards and massage chairs. The massage chairs were definitely worth the cost of the morning. (250,000 or $15aud) and of course Inara needed to paint as well.

Our tour guide was named Thuy (Thwee) worked for Johnny Tours. We got picked up by Thung in the pink Jeep and met the others in our group. 2 Belgian backpackers, family from Taiwan and a group from Hong Kong.

Our first stop was Fairy Stream, where we walked for an hour in the refreshing stream. It’s a touristy spot as Brandon got to hold a snake and on the walk we saw horses walking in the stream, and a hawk with its talons tied. The fairy stream is fed by a lake 20ks away that reaches the ocean. The bottom of the stream has black bits which is titanium. There are some deep spots as well as spots that you can sink. This is the closest to quick sand feeling I have ever felt.

After the Fairy stream we then went to a fishing village, and then to the white sand dunes followed by the red sand dunes. At the white sand dunes the kids ate sand as the kids did some sand sliding and we got to ride ATVs (with a driver)

Inara had enough of the white sand as she had sand in her ears, face and everywhere and wanted to stop. Luckily they didn’t want more sand all over them and passed on sand sliding.

The kids had a fun time riding in the back of the jeep and by the end Brandon was commentating the “race” with the other jeeps.

Dinner that night was random items we would eat , popcorn chicken, 2 min noodles and pizza with most toppings picked off. The pizza bread was beautiful and soft.Read more
