More Mui Ne

Before heading back to Saigon we did a bit of a tour of Mui Ne. The locals kept pointing out the sand dunes that we just had to see, but it takes about 4 hours to get around.





So we hired a couple of local guys and their motor bikes and set off at 6am. We had to get back to the hotel in time to check out by noon, and then get on the bus to Saigon.





The port of Mui Ne is fairly busy.





I got interested in basket boats and there are many at Mui Ne. We also saw quite a few out at sea.





Along the way we stopped and walked through this channel cut in the clay.








We got to the white sand dunes and had a great time driving around on these buggies. The surrounds were quite nice too and we had a pleasant lunch there.






Then it was back on the bike and off to the red sand dunes. They were pretty neat too, though we didn't hoon around on these!





On the way back to the hotel we were taken to the home of one of our drivers. He then went out, climbed a tree, and came back with fresh cocnuts for us to drink! He had a cute little daughter who is now the proud owner of a Melbourne Victory pencil case!
