Mui Ne is on the South East coast of Vietnam and chosen by some of us for its kitesurfing. No surprises there. Luckily for the rest of us, I picked up a fantastic page turner in Saigon and spent most of the stay immersed in a story about Chinese girls in the 19th Century getting their feet bound and married off to men in neighbouring villages.
Mia Resort - mosquito nets and sunset happy hours
Fishing village nearby - famous for its round boats
Women take charge on the shore while men hang out on their mopeds and boats
Dunes. Dunes?? Yes, dunes. People were up here at 6am in their cocktail attire posing for pictures. One girl wore her wedding dress
Here's where my book came in handyAdditional info:
Mui Ne is rather heavy on the Russian tourism side of things. Our hotel (Mia Resort) wasn't, but everywhere else was, so practice your Spasibas before hitting the supermarket
Mui Ne can only be reached by car - see previous post

Always wanted to discover Vietnam, guess that will have to wait a little longer now. Unless you want to spend some time in London - I could offer free accommodation and a well stocked fridge against a little babysitting...
