      Jungle Beach

      March 24, 2017 in Vietnam ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

      We arrived at Jungle Beach at about 8am from the night bus, got our rooms and had some breakfast! We're sleeping in huts made entirely of Bamboo and no proper windows or doors, all open to the outdoors. Pretty cool actually, I love that they build entirely of Bamboo! Such a great material.

      Anyway, after breakfast we hit the beach of course! My first beach in SE Asia (unless you count the man made beach of Singapore) and it was gorgeous. White sand, clear blue water, no seaweed or jellyfish to worry about, lukewarm water, minimal waves. It was just lovely! There were a few other guests at the resort but it was mainly just us, so quiet and peaceful. We lounged on hammocks and sun beds, I stayed in the shade as much as possible and still ended up with a burn, and I read my book and just relaxed for the first time in a very long time.

      Meals are at set times and set menus, family style, and drinks are available for purchase at an additional cost. Traditional cooking and pretty good! Nothing I was super crazy about but no complaints either.

      Before dinner we played some beach volleyball, I'm surprised by how my body just remembers to play lol. It was fun and friendly competition! After dinner we had a bonfire on the beach, reminded me of home quite a bit! Made me a bit nostalgic, especially because we're still a group of strangers really, but it'll come :) was a great night. And an early one, I think I was in bed by about 9:30 or 10:00

      Jungle Beach

      March 25, 2017 in Vietnam ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

      A second full day at Jungle Beach spent lounging around, reading, relaxing, finally taking a break from the go go go of the past few weeks. In fact I started my day with breakfast and then a nap in a hammock haha. And didn't move far from that hammock aside to swim occasionally and refill my water. At some point in the afternoon we met as a group and walked along the water picking up trash in an effort to protect where we play. I like that idea! And it was amazing how quickly we filled 10 big black trash bags... Disgustingly amazing that is. But hey, now it's a bit cleaner :)

      After the cleanup the group played a Beach Olympics that was quite entertaining to watch. I was content just reading my book and observing, didn't feel like breaking my cycle of relaxation. They played silly games like egg toss and pass the ball without hands that kind of thing. And after that it was time for dinner! We had a bbq on the beach this time around which was pretty great. No sand in the food either, which was an accomplishment considering it gets literally everywhere else. There's no avoiding it!

      After dinner we all changed into the pj's we bought in Ho Chi Minh and met at the "Rage House", the covered Kiddie pool. There we just socialized as a group and had some fun! What a night filled with silliness and general debauchery. The leaders also managed to find some clamato juice! To make Caesars, which was really more like vodka with a splash of Clam. There were quite a few people sick that evening from overindulging haha.
