Gorgeous sand dunes in Mui Ne

Mui Ne is gorgeous!!! I'm staying in a bungalow right by the beach with lush gardens, hammocks, and lounge chairs abound. At night the whole place lights up with coloured lanterns leading down to the water. I'm going to have to force myself to leave and go to the big city of Saigon sometime (which is apparently more chaotic than Hanoi was!).

Yesterday I went to visit the red and white sand dunes (separately, they don't exist together), the red canyon, and the Cham Towers. Pictures here. I also went sand sledding on the white sand dunes which was ridiculously fun...it reminded me of tobogganing in the snow, without the cold wet feeling of getting snow everywhere where it shouldn't be (in your boots, up your shirt, up your sleeves, in your ear...you get the picture).

Mui Ne is a great place to slow down a bit, today I watched people doing Tai Chi on the beach, and watched the wives of hardworking fishermen mending their nets on their front porch. Children help their parents with watering the garden with smiles and no complaints, families run restaurants out of their homes by setting up tables on the front lawn.

I think its going to be hard to decide when to leave here!
