..25.. nha trang

a 7-hour bus journey has landed us in affluent nha trang, which is packed with yacht clubs and dive shops. after exploring the city a bit in the evening, then waking up early for a stroll along the ocean boardwalk, we took a boatride out to the nearby islands for some snorkling. i had a hard time relaxing at first - the sea was dense with jellyfish - like a lychee soup! apparently this kind doesn't sting, but it's disconcerting to feel them squish up against face and arms! after i got used to the jellyfish, it was incredible to watch them luminesce - red & blue disappearing ink stripes!
