Vietnam Trip Day 3 - Mui Ne

Vietnam Trip day 3: HCMC to Mui Ne 15 March 2016

Bus travel time: 5 hours 30 minutes 

Bus type: Sleeper bus

Travel Agent: Shinh Tourist

Compare to TNKTravel agent, Shinh Tourist is not as attentive as TNKTravel as TNKTravel will arrange a small bus to pick customers to go to the bus station to change bus. This time, we need to carry our luggage to walk for 5 mins to the same bus station to change bus. 

Anyway, it was great experience actually as we can see the routines of local people.

 After 5 mins of walk, here we are and that's the our bus to Mui Ne, it is a sleeper bus. What is sleeper bus? Let's have a look.

 This is how the interior of the sleeper bus looks like. double-deck seats that you can lie on and sleep.

 Oh ya, this is how actually the France bread looks like. I bought it when we stop at the rest area.

 Yea, after the 5 hours and 30 mins our journey, finally we are here. 

 This is the view from the Mui Ne Hotel restaurant. Great view!!! Sand, sea and sky.

 Cheers~

 Wefie before the meal. That's Malaysia culture? Lol.

 I ordered pork with bread.

 Mom ordered sea food fried rice.

After finished our lunch, we went back to room to change clothes and ready for the first destination in Mui Ne-Tháp Chàm Poshanư

 I believe I can fly~

 One country one kick at here since it is so spectacular.

My sister also wants to pose in front of this historical building with her Yoga pose. haha

  Two ladies of mine.

Don't forget to take a wefie together.

After one hour and 30 mins staying at here to take picturessss, we decided to go back to hotel.

When we have arrived the road in front of our hotel entrance, we suddenly flashed out an idea to go to the beach which is not far away by walking to there.

After 10 mins of walk, here we are~

 Nice beach with white and fine sand.

 Mom and sister said my toes nails look like put on nail art, they are so pink! haha

 If you love water skating, here would be a paradise for you to come over.

After 40 mins staying on the beach, we went back to hotel to take shower and ready for our dinner la~

 Cheers again. haha

 This chicken burger is quite nice, we have order one burger, pizza and pasta, Jonnie walker black label, avocado smoothie and red wine.

 The environment here is nice.

 

Few of them are playing water volleyball at night with the music from DJ of the night.

Yea, tomorrow will going to a small desert in Mui Ne to see sunrise, that's why tonight have to sleep early. 

Good night everyone~

Bring Mom to Travel - Vietnam Day 2

Itinerary for day 2 in Vietnam : Ho Chi Minh City > Mekong Delta > Ho Chi Minh City > Saigon
                                                   Square > Ben thanh market

Woke up on 7a.m. then went for complimentary buffet breakfast from hotel and also wait to meet with my sister.

While waiting my sister to arrive hotel here, I have taken a picture from the restaurant as I'm sitting next to window. Nice view here. 

After my sister has arrived, the waitress approached to us and she realized that we have 3 people sitting together which is not tally with the number registered on the list she has which is 2. Then my sister keep on telling her that she just want to sit here only and will not take the breakfast. But the waitress can't understand English and keep on starring on my sister. We can see from her eyes that she wants my sister to leave to make sure she will not take the breakfast. Therefore, my sister is forced to leave to wait us at lobby. 

From this incident I can see that Vietnamese they are so dedicated to their work and responsibility. That's the positive thinking I have on this incident instead of having negative thinking that says why she is so stubborn and can't understand English. Remain the positive thought so that I can have the positive frequency and attract the positive things come to me. Learnt this from "The Power". haha. 

After we have finished the breakfast, then we go to TNKTravel travel agency to check-in our pre-bought ticket for today Mekong Delta one day trip. 

While we are waiting outside of the travel agency shop, we see a guy putting a plate with donuts tapping tall on it. 

After 15 mins of waiting, a bus is arrive and we get into the bus to go to bus station for transit.

TNKTravel agency will give customers a slip with bus number after customers have check-in in TNKTravel agency shop. Then customers need to change bus at the bus stop by following the bus number that they have received. 

 After one hour of drive, the bus driver stop at a rest area as usual for travelers to get down from the bus to take a breath. 

 What is so interesting that make so many people queuing up so long? Is toilet~~~ LOL.

See, I wounder why they put ice on the urine bowl. Anyone can tell me why????

 As you all know, "Pho" is the famous food from Vietnam. Actually it is quite similar to Malaysia Chinese noodle which call 猪肉粉.  Am I right? or 鸡丝河粉? Lol.

 Yea, this hanging sleeping web is so nice to lying on especially during hot weather. 

Hey dude, are you going to be sleeping beast? haha

 My fat sister and mom are enjoying the coconut drinks.

After another half an hour drive, we have arrived the first destination of today which is Vĩnh Tràng Pagoda. What so special about this pagoda? As the tour guide told us that this pagoda was built the mix of European and Asian architecture. Let's go have a look on what other special things in the pagoda.

  See!!! A huge and tall Buddha statue!!!

 Another big statue - Laughing Buddha. Let's smile~

Ok, after visiting the Vĩnh Tràng pagoda, then we back to bus and proceed to Mekong Delta.

We need to take the big boat to go to our second destination - Turtle island for lunch. As tour guide told us that there are 4 islands in Mekong Delta which is Turtle island, Dragon island, Phoenix island and Unicorn island. Dragon, Phoenix, Unicorn and Turtle are the 4 holy animals for Vietnamese that's why they use the 4 holy animals' name to name the 4 islands. 

Besides that, the water of Mekong Delta river is from the from Tibetan Plateau the river runs through China's Yunnan province, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

 Walking into an orchard hunting for our lunch. So hungry~!!!

Da la~~~ That's our lunch. So many dishes as we choose the expensive package. Is worth for the price as compare to the cheaper one which only has one vege and one meat. 

 Time to eat!

 After we have finished our lunch. Then we proceed to Coconut sugar workshop as coconut and banana are actually the famous fruits in Mekong Delta.

 

 As usual, you will see souvenirs selling at tourism hot spot. 

Surprise!!! First time to have body contact with a snake!!!It is so amazing. 

 Ok, is time for rolling boat!

 Yea, I managed to sit in front of the boat. GoPro time~. Lol

After rolling boat, then we proceed to the last activity in Mekong Delta which is the traditional music instrument show and together with the royal jelly tea and fruits.

 It is the genuine Royal Jelly as it can attracts bees.

OK, Mekong Delta one day trip has ended. After back to Ho Chi Minh City we take shower in hotel and ready for dinner.

 This is the famous "Pho" in town at Phuong 8.

 We have ordered rice paper roll

 Fried spring roll

 And I like this pork mince puff.
