13: Nha Trang

Tourists come to Nha Trang for the beach and for the diving, we were told. But it must have been the wrong time of the year: the beach was nearly empty, and the many "diving schools" didn't seem busy. But we hadn't come to swim or dive, and we found a lot to like in Nha Trang; not only what is documented here, but also the undocumentable sauna-spa-mudbath-massage treatment at the hot springs resort.
