Nha Trang was full of what the locals would call 'Um Tai' and 'Ba Tai' - white foreigners. It was a westernised beach resort; but we really needed the rest after the last few days. After the previous night's drinking session with River and Ocean, we slept-in the next morning and then headed out to stylish La Louisiana Cafe (which had a private beach area with loungers - recommended by a friend in order to avoid continual harassment from beach vendors). After laying there for most of the day and indulging in some $5 beach massages, that evening we had our most expensive meal in vietnam (at a staggering 5 quid!).Feeling totally refreshed, the following evening we decided to board a 12 hour sleeper bus to Hoi An.... big
mistake.... these buses provide so-called sleeper beds which are actually designed for the average vietnamese body size. Feeling claustophobic and with minimal sleep, this was one experience we did not want to repeat in a hurry (even the on-board toilet was out of service). Our recommendations about Nha Trang are to use it more as a stop-over or a place just to chill (unless you are really into your diving); and totally avoid the overnight sleeper buses where possible if you are remotely tall.
