22 Dec - Mui Ne: Stuck in paradise
Poor Kerry. The travelers sickness had taken hold so no cycling for us. Still the Dynasty hotel resort wasn't exactly the worst place on earth to be. We got up ready for the cycling start but made the decision to stay another night. Our rep, Long advised we could get a coach for around £3 and join the rest the next night at Nha Trang. At breakfast I met the three who braved it through the Heathrow snow and cancellations, the 7 hours stuck on a plane waiting for clearance, the 16 hour flight and the 7 hour bus ride to the resort.
The rest of the day was some swimming, sun bathing, eating, sorting out some medication for Kerry and the coach tickets for the next day. You don't have to have a doctor's prescription to get drugs in Vietnam which was lucky as a doctor's appointment would have been about £70 and the advice of a drip. Instead I took a moped (there's always guys hanging around offering a ride for cash) down to the pharmacy with our internet researched recommendation. It cost $1 for the moped ride return and about the same for a strip of anti-biotics!
