VinPearl

Hi All

As we didn't have much sleep last night we decided to have power nap this morning once we got to the Hotel just outside the centre of Nha Trang and didn't wake up until 11.00! As we were starving we grabbed a bus (3000D or 10p) and headed down to the tourist area craving some western delight - well a sandwich and chips anyway. Driven with guilt (ha ha) we decided to walk to the cable car to make our visit to Vinpearl, an Island which is the local version of Disney World complete with Hollywood letters on the hillside. 

Suffice to way we underestimated the size and length of the cable car so we eb\nded up walking about 4km to get to it.... phew. Any way the cable car was great over 3km long and 60m above the sea at the highest part. It took about 12 minutes to get to the Island and was worth the entrance fee alone for the views of the other Islands and back to Nha Trang. On the Island there was a veritable feast of tacky attractions all for free, plus a great waterpark, aquarium & as the day drew to a close a trip around the arcades which kept Dean happy until 9pm. Back on the cable car the view of the town all lit up in its finery was better than the lack of a sunset, which I'm not sure will be there to see at the rate that the hotel skyscrapers are being built.

Any thanks for looking

Hugs
