Mui Ne, Vietnam


Left the hectic city and went off with Cherylle to the sleepy fishing beach side village of Mui Ne. Nice to relax and slow down for a day or two. The place was beautiful and had some awesome sand dunes nearby. Cherylle had meant a Hungarian guy named Georgie (?) who had been in Mui Ne for awhile learning to kite surf. He had a motorbike and took us around the sites. Funny story, we didn't want to pay the parking fee at the sand dunes so we parked outside the gate and walked in. When we went back at dusk, the bike's fuel tank had been drained and the bike wouldn't start. Knowing it was the parking guy, we got some help of some young Vietnamese guys who ran the food shacks at the dunes to teach us how to drain a tank. We "gained entry" into the parking guy's shack and got some fuel and replaced a helmet that was missing as well. The young guys helped us put our fuel system back together. All in all, pretty fun and educational!

These need to be framed and sent to national geographic! Great story about the parking dude and learning how to refuel. Sounds like it's out of a movie :)
