We spent a sunny Sunday in Mui Né. In the morning, before the sun reached its full strength, we cycled to the Red Sand Dunes which tower over the town and offer great views of the surrounding coastline. Our cycle took us through the town which is much like any other bustling Vietnamese town we have been through, still somewhat untouched by the international resort that has sprung up a few kilometres further up the coast.

As we headed back towards the resort and to our hotel, the sun was giving off some serious heat and so we made our way to a shady spot by the water and spent a few hours reading and watching kite surfers and wind surfers skim across the waves.
(Mui Né is popular for wind and kite surfing but we were just happy to watch from a distance)
We have developed a love of good Indian food on this trip - tasty curries warmed us in one of our colder days in Nong Khiaw; we got to know our friends Tim and Tina over good Indian food in Vieng Xai; and we shared some lovely dishes with Nicky's Dad in Hanoi. We love the Vietnamese food too and hope to recreate some of the dishes we've experienced once we're in our own kitchen again, but it's nice to have a change now and then and we had a great dinner at Mui Ne's Indian restaurant, last night and tonight.
Tomorrow we'll be making our way inland again, heading for Ho Chi Minh City. We're getting very close to Lunar New Year now so it'll be interesting to see all the preparations in the villages and towns along our journey over the coming days.
