The rest of Vietnam and arrival in Cambodia

In Vietnam we also went to Nha Trang, Dalat, Mui Ne, Saigon, Cat Tien National Park and did a tour of the Mekong Delta.

In Nha Trang we went on an island tour, visited the mud baths and relaxed on the beach.

 
In Dalat we went canyoning - will upload some photos soon. The photo is of the Crazy House we visited, the architect was inspired by nature.

 

Mui Ne was small and quiet apart from the beach which had hundreds of kite surfers on it everyday (literally). We did a cheap jeep tour and visited the massive sand dunes.


In Saigon we visited Chi Chi Tunnels, the War Remnants Museum and the Reunification Palace.  



We really wanted to visit a National Park and despite the high price we decided to do a private overnight tour of Cat Tien. We visited the Gibbon Rescue Centre and did a night safari on the first day. Overnight we stayed in an awesome hut that faced out towards the river. On the second day we trekked 5km's through the jungle to Crocodile Swamp - on the way we saw wild monkeys and a snake. Only a small snake though, we didn't run into the king cobra that sometimes 'greets' the tourists passing through ;). We were lucky enough to see wild crocodiles at the swamp when they came up for air.

    
   

We have just done our 3 day - 2 night Mekong Delta trip and arrived by boat in Phnom Penh.
