Nha Trang

Our flight from Saigon to Cam Ranh was cancelled due to weather. We spent hours at the airport in Saigon and then made our way back to our hotel, and from there we raced to the train station only to find ourselves waiting four hours for the overnight train to Nha Trang.

When we finally arrived this morning, the sky was stormy and it was raining. No island tours in this weather. I slept most of the morning and then my dad and I went to have beers and sodas at this place down the street. I saw a rat the size of a cat.

Without the sun, there's not much to do except walk around aimlessly, looking into little shops, watching the street vendors and saying "No thank you" to just about every one sellling postcards, books, cigarettes, everything.

We both got sick yesterday. Sneezing, coughing.

Tomorrow we're taking a taxi down to Cam Ranh Bay, where my dad was stationed.
