Vietnamese Mini Pancake (a bit burned)
Whahaha...James or Jam? :p
The Sun, The Sea and The Sand…something that one cannot miss! We spent the whole morning at the beach before our check-out. I ordered a coconut that never came... and was told they ran out of it! :( So, I went to the pool bar and ordered a ‘Tropical Sunset’ – a mix of 3 fruit juices. Aiya! I think I’m just not fated to enjoy a drink then. I only took 3 sips, darling once before I toppled the glass of mocktail!!! (#@*!%^&) Not only that, I lost 100,000D (the money I have prepared to pay for the coconut)…haiz…. So I actually paid S$15 for the mocktail! Luckily, not a big price still.
Darling had a good sun bath while I enjoyed the breeze under the bamboo-coconut ‘umbrella.’ The waves were magnificent. Being mild hydrophobic, I’m glad I took up the challenge to get into the water and got ‘crashed’ by the jumping wild waves. It can be painful sometimes. Enjoyed these moments with my darling definitely!
Roaring Waves...
Dear in Action!
We didn’t have enough time to go for a swim at the pool. We bathed, packed our barang barang and checked out at 1pm. Went to the pool bar for our welcome ice-cream – had soursop and passion fruit sorbet.
Checking Out...
Pool Bar...
Last stopover before we headed back to Vung Tau was a very cheap seafood Vietnamese Restaurant, Lam Tong. Also one of the recommend restaurants in my list. I’m very happy that we didn’t miss this. A plate of kangkong is only about $1.20. We ordered Squid, Prawns, steamed fish, kangkong, a beer and a lime juice, all for only 167,000D (~S$14).
Will definitely come back again if I revisit Mui Ne. It would have been better if we could stay for at least 2 nights. And I would make sure I bring my camera battery charger along, given the number of pics I snapped. I was too naïve to believe that the battery would last me for this short trip. The battery went on strike after the Jeep Tour, only lasted less than a day.
On our way back, our driver actually lost his way! Puzzled! Hee… How did he get to Mui Ne then? Anyway, he asked a few people we met along the way for directions. We reached Seaview Residence safely, our home away from home, at 630pm :p
A look at our expenditure:
Transport: 2,200,000D (120USD)
Seahorse Resort and Spa (Deluxe Garden View): 84USD (inclusive of buffet breakfast)
Korean Lunch: 180, 000D
Jeep Tour: 470,000D
Tips & Drink for tour: 160,000D
BBQ Dinner: 470,000D
Ice Cream: 20,000D
Luna d’Autunno (Italian Restaurant): 330,000D
Pool Bar & Room Service: 100,000D
Lam Tong Lunch: 167,000D
Sunglasses: 250,000D
Lost: 100,000D
TOTAL: 4,447,000D + 84USD (Hotel) -> About S$500 for 2 pax!
Mui Ne – an oasis of calm! a tranquil and personal paradise for anyone seeking a relaxing and enjoyable escape, especially away from the hustle and bustle of city living. Highly recommended! Love the undisturbed beach, less crowded and commercialized as the ones in Phuket and Bali. I begin to miss the place already… (“,) The next time I go, I must wake up early for the sunrise! :)
Darling, thanks for this memorable and fun-filled Mui Ne Escapade. I really enjoyed myself very very much. I’m sure you did too! =)
Happy 1st Anniversary!
