Nha Trang ..... strand strand strand en verbrand

Ha... luitjes gisteravond lekker gegeten in Hoi Am.. Wederom bij de Cargo Bay. Geweldig restaurant met zowel een franse en vietnamese keuken. Heeeerlijk.

Op tijd naar bed gegaan want we gingen vandaag vliegen naar Nha Trang vanmorgen om 09:30 vanuit Danang Airport en 40 minuten later 700 km verder in het zuiden.

Het was kiezen of delen 9 uur trein of 40 minuten vliegen voor bijna hetzelfde bedrag dus dat was niet echt moeilijk.

We zitten hier in het Novotel .. spliksplinter nieuw en voor prijzen die je je in Nederland niet kunt voorstellen. Zie de nieuwe foto's

Nha Trang is een echte kuststad met kilometers strand mooie resorts maar tegelijkertij ook een boulevard met leuke hotels en gezellige restaurantjes... Laten we zeggen het Scheveningen van Vietnam.

Nou dit was het voor nu..

******************************
Nha Trang is a coastal city and capital of Khánh Hòa province, on the South Central Coast of Vietnam. It is well known for its pristine beaches and excellent scuba diving and is fast becoming a popular destination for international tourists, attracting large numbers of backpackers as well as more affluent travelers on the Southeast Asia circuit. It is already very popular with Vietnamese tourists. Nha Trang Bay is amongst the world's most beautiful bays. Tourists can participate in Sea Festival and August- Nha Trang Rendezvous Festival every 2 years. Nha Trang was the site of the Miss Universe 2008 Pageant that was held on July 14, 2008.

The city has about 300,000 inhabitants and is projected to increase to 500,000 to 600,000 inhabitants in the year 2020[citation needed] according to estimation of Nha Trang Administrative Board Statistics.

Historically, the city was known as Kauthara under the Champa. The city is still home to the Po nagar Tower built by the Champa.

As a coastal city, Nha Trang's developed in marine science with Nha Trang Oceanography Institution. There's also Hon Mun marine protected area - one of four first marine protected area in the world admitted by IUCN. The famous French-Swiss bacteriologist Alexandre Émile John Yersin (who discovered the Yersinia pestis bacterium) identified himself with Nha Trang's life for 50 years (people called him Ông Nm- Mr Fifth in familiar way), established the Indochina Pasteur Institution (Nha Trang Pasteur Institution now) to research bubonic plague and then died on March 1, 1943 in Nha Trang. A street in the city is named after him, there is a shrine located next to his tomb, and his house has been converted into the Yersin Museum.

Lying off Nha Trang is Bamboo Island, operated by the Sofitel Vinpearl Group. There is now a motorized chair lift system, reportedly the longest in the world, linking the mainland to the five-star resort and theme park on Bamboo Island.
