So to get anywhere that takes 8 hours or more to get to, you have the option of taking a sleeper bus. This is what some of them look like. They are actually pretty nice! This was our 12 hr sleeper bus from Ninh Binh to Hoi Ahn. It was very comfortable with beds and even a bathroom. Unfortunately to get to the bathrooms, you had to step over the Vietnamese people sleeping on the floor. Anything to save a buck i guess.
This is Mr Phong and his family. He invited us to his house for a tour and to tell us all about the Vietnam war. it was really cool! He fought for the South and his uncle Fought for the North. Afterwords, his wife fed us the most delicious lunch!
Mr. Phong lived way out in the country so he hired a few bikes for us to get to his house. This was one of the drivers.
We had been sick for 5 days before we decided to finally go to the hospital. I (jess) had to get hooked up to an IV because I was so low on fluids. I had to stay at the hospital that had geckos all over the place for 4 hours. Then we got sent home with lots of medication. I guess the doctors see these kind of parasites a lot!
when people ride bikes here they like to double up and share the work.
Horrible picture, but the only one of us on the boat going out for our open water scuba diving course. It was a three day course that allowed us to go scuba diving 6 times! Its very cheap here to!
All suited up
Traditional Vietnamese style food. We went out with a bunch of our scuba instructors and other people that went scuba diving with us.

Super cool....
Mr. Phong's Great Aunt. All of the older women are very small here!
Traditional hot pot food. It was AMAZING! and only $2.50 for this massive meal!
We have been in Nha Trang for the Past 6 days, the longest we have stayed in one place! We love it here, the beach is amazing, the people are great and we are staying at a super inexpensive but very nice hotel. We are off to another beach town tomorrow.
