Mui Ne, Vietnam

It's been a while since my last post. After our stint in Mui Ne we headed into the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam, before heading into Cambodia. Let's just say internet was pretty much non-existent for the last 2 weeks. I'm now in Bangkok, so you guys get to finally see some pics from our last month, or so. Hope you enjoy these! This bunch is from our time in Mui Ne.

This was the view from our room at the resort in Mui Ne. Not too bad!

The water wasn't exactly calm, but it made for a nice spot to chill out on a hot afternoon.

This pic was taken from our a little spot called Pogo Bar. Cheap/good food, Kruder and Dorfmeister on the stereo, and some pool tables by the ocean. Nice!

Our pool. Literally ours; the only other guests were Vietnamese, and they don't come out to swim before 5 PM, so that they can keep that attractive pale shade. The darker your skin, the more likely you work a labourer's job, so the whiter the better. Meanwhile Jennie and were there all day long getting a nice tan. Oh well, worked out nicely for us!

This is Jennie and the White Sand dunes, about 40 minutes outside Mui Ne. We took an old U.S. military jeep out with a guide for the morning and went to these dunes, the Red dunes, Fairy Stream, and some weird run-off formations in the sand the locals call a "Canyon". Okay there.

The "Canyon". Nuff said.

The Red dunes.

Fairy Stream. I am not the fairy. In fact, at this point I was rather pissed off, cause our guide failed to mention we'd be walking in the water. Walking in water is no big deal right? Well, the problem was the cows defecating nearby, with the waste making its way into the stream. Compound that to the fact that I had an open cut on my foot, and you get an angry Zach. The first aid kit came in handy to clean the cut. I'm alive and well!
