Nha Trang, Vietnam

We woke up the next day off the coast of Nha Trang, a city in central Vietnam. I had made arrangements for us to tour with Sharmay Tran, a tour guide listed by Tours by Locals. I chose Sharmay because I had a few specific things I wanted to see in the Nha Trang area. We toured with two others. Riviera anchored in the south part of the city within sight of the overhead cable car line to Vinpearl, an amusement park across the water. Independents were put on the 1st tender, so we got into the city quickly. Where vendors meet cruisers was a bit chaotic, with people milling around & a few vendors waiting inside one of two small coffee shops. In time we found Sharmay and off we went to see local sights and have lunch.
All 4 of us got an hour long massage - Howard especially loved that! And I loved the hour we spent in a real fishing village.
