last week the year

Jenna and Scott arrived Wednesday, Dec. 28th.  Early the next morning we caught our bus to Mui Ne, a resort town we visited before.

The ocean was quite wavy and we were unable to swim that afternoon but enjoyed the town.  The next morning we were able to enjoy the sea.  In the afternoon we found a sailing school and booked a laser with a knowledgable skipper who took us out for an hour.  The winds were good and we had a great sail.  Scott and Jenna went into the town and found a really 'cool' bar with a great 'vibe' as Scott would say.  We sat on the patio and watched the sun set over the fishing village.(first picture)
The next day we took a jeep ride to the sand dunes. (24km ride)

That is Scott, Jenna and me leaping.  In the second picture you can get a sense of the size of the dunes in comparison to the tiny jeep at the top of one of the dunes.  After we sipped a fresh coconut.
Here is the guy chopping the end off of the coconut and putting a straw in.  We then stopped at a site called the Fairy Walk.  It is a fresh water stream ending in a waterfall.  People just walk along it and there are red and white cliffs along the way as well as table and chairs set up right in the water serving snacks.

In the afternoon the owners of the small resort invited all the guests for snacks and bubbly.  We ended the day with a meal out (which was not that good) and called it a night by 10pm - did not make it to midnight.
A great way to end 2016.
