Days of Just Being

Over the last four days in Mui Ne, we had no specific plan or destination, and decided to go with the flow. I was able to do some yoga practice: meditation, sun salutations, and Head Stand (yah! I still got it!) and ventured in to the country side by motorcycle with G.

Saturday was almost a "do-nothing" day: waking up late (after 6am is late here!), sitting around, observing life and the surroundings...taking walks to here and there and to the beach...

City of still life

On Sunday, we rented a motorcycle but had no destination. G said just drive to see where the road will take us. We always unintentionally managed to stay away from the tourist crowd. Stopped here and there in the countryside to see how people live... Plus we went to see a cemetery of vast proportions, the size of a small city! Hmmm, the morning just flew by. But when the sun was pounding down on us and the temp went to 35C, it was time to go back for lunch and a siesta in AC room for the afternoon. We took a short walk back to the Fairy Stream before the sunset (never get tired of this place) then rode the motorbike to a beachside restaurant for a somewhat disappointing dinner.

Perseverance paid off. On early Monday we returned to the harbor. This time it was buzzing with activity! We were completely in awe with all the going ons at the shore, snapping pics, taking video and just observing what seemed to be an organized chaos. I bought some fresh scallops right from a fisherman (missed the crabs though :() , and had a coffee shop near by grill them for me. I stuffed myself with fresh seafood for lunch at 10am! Breakfast was at 7am. Is it too late for any weight loss advice???

Tuesday was the last day in Mui Ne, of course we wanted to return to the Fairy Stream to do some yoga poses and soak under the waterfall to embrace the memories there.

Today we will get on the bus heading back to Ho Chi Minh City after spending 11 days in Mui Ne (can you tell we love this place?)

Until the next return, we will re-live the memories of Mui Ne by watching our videos or pics.

At the time of posting, we are in Saigon at a beautiful hotel, no bed bugs of course.

Six more days before we return to Canada. How time flies!
