| fishing boats |
I awoke from my slumbers and saw the rising suns rays
glistening on the oceans waters. A few fishing boats were still scattered in
the distance, but most had returned to shore with their evenings haul.
After a shower and soak in the bathtub, I ventured
downstairs and enjoyed the buffet breakfast sitting on the balcony under the
shade of a beach umbrella.

| Phan Thiet Markets |
The bus picked us up for our mornings sightseeing trip.
First stop was a brief visit to the Phan Thiet Markets. Here hundreds of market
stalls sold clothing, tropical fruits and a wide assortments of other goods.

| Takou Mountain gondola ride |
We then drove to Takou
Mountain, about one
hour’s drive from Mui Ne. Rather than hiking up the mountain, we took the gondola
ride high above the beautiful tropical rain forest full of birds and wildlife
to the Mountain Pagoda at the peak. Here we saw tomb towers and the largest
reclining Buddha in Vietnam,
measuring 49 meters in length.

| Mui Ne’s sand dunes |
The bus took us back to a delightful beach front restaurant
for lunch. We then went to see the edge of surprisingly Saharan-like sand dunes
located not far from Mui Ne’s important beaches. The child in me wished to go
sliding down the sand dunes on a plastic toboggan. There are more than 60
different colours of the sand, and talented artists use the various colours to create
amazing sand art pictures.

| fishing village |
We then returned to the Cliff Resort via a fishing
village and inspected another amazing resort, which I will detail in a separate
article.
That evening we dined at another resort restaurant before heading
back to our Cliff Resort for our last nights rest at the beach.
