To the beach in Muine in Vietnam (part 3)

10 hours of bus seat with a short stop over in Saigon and the murky Mekong Delta turned into crystal water beaches of Muine.

Morning on the beach, small part of the shade at that night. Night on the beach, even though Muine is a 10km beach stretch with hundreds of hotels and resorts, sometimes even this is not enough, especially if arriving to the beach on Chinese New Year holiday at 1 AM.
...can happen when spontaneous traveling inspires!
But once again got proven the truth that: the best things in life are for free!

Real estate still available, looks like dream place to live under palm trees

First of the basket boat series. These funny boats were used for net fishing near the beach. Might be this shape prevents the boat dipping over in coastal breaking waves

The red dirt from Australia. Felt also like Australia - hot, cloudless, red and no single car or motorbike on the road (usually not to common for Vietnam)

4 different kinds of environment:
In front looks Australia, dry "bushland"
Beauty of lake
White sand dunes
Far back bigger mountains (didn't make it there)

I have always wanted to have a small Estonian flag or a small blue-black-white cloth tag. Each time when making back to Estonia I have thought of getting them, and each time I have forgot to get it. Should make a short trip to Bangkok, last year I saw Estonian flags sold over there, closest place to buy it :)
And then to sew it on my rucksack.

This kind of small flag was the reasons why I met 2 Estonians wandering around on the street in Muine, both of them had it sewed on their bags. And by accident I turned to look back, when saw 2 persons passing and saw these small flags.
Came out Külli and Rudolf were on their trip around Asia.
Evening in the small beach bar.
