We were on the way heading to Mui Ne.The loopy and curvy roads reminded me of Initial D!
Mui Ne is less developed and hence no formal stopover along the way. We just stopped at a wooden hut. You can never see this kinda plain kampung lifestyle in Singapore!
Left from freezing DaLat to scorching MuiNe was really an endurance test for me... 4 of us were so bored while another 2 busied meeting Mr.Chou aka 周公
There was no toilet at the 'stopover' so guys just randomly pissed behind the bushes. Girls?Dunno...
Still a long way to go...
An array of houses on the way...
Cow herding
Finally we saw this...
this...
and here we were in the hotel! Flower petal on the bed and...
Even in the flush toilet!
The scenery outside the room was really superb!

3hour private time before group tour. Lunch by the sea. The fruit juice is the purest i have tasted so far!
After lunch we just asked the hotel staff to book a cab for us. And luckily we got a Vietnamese driver who knows Chinese! He had worked with Chinese in Vietnam for around three years. Kindly enough he volunteered to be the tour guide to lead us to the XXX Tomb (name forgotten...) nearby
We forgot to take the key at the counter to enter the tomb and the driver, with proper working shirt and tie, purposely walked back around 300m to take the key for us! Without much ado, we managed to capture a group photo!
Obviously the tomb had been cleared and what remained on the spot was just...
At the interval of the driver's explanation, a cool foreigner motorcyclist interrupted and our talk started...hmm can't really recall the content of conversation...
The photo of us with the driver, taken by the foreigner
And we even stood on the stairs of the tomb to take photo! As the aftermath...
Back to hotel and we followed to tour to the
first destination- XXX Beach. The photo of sea and ships was just a replica of Melaka as shown in Form 1 Sejarah textbook!

Second stop- White Sanddune as one of the main attractions why we were here! To reach the centre we had to pass by bamboo jungle...
Swamp
And finally the long-fabled White Sanddune! 有一束光，那瞬间是什么痛的刺眼~
To try the sand sliding we paid each time we played for the reusable body board provided by local kids.
The
last stop-Yellow Sanddune! What's the difference between White and Yellow Sanddune? I didn't see any, even the color of sand... Under sunset we came back to our childhood...
God-knows-who...
And at this moment only I realised the true meaning of 依依不舍...
Dinner time!As usual we aimed for seafood but didn't have any idea which restaurant to choose... and we were unexpectedly welcomed outside hotel by the driver who knows Chinese. He suggested us to take the ride to eat in the town but obviously we rejected politely and finally chose a neighbouring restaurant. And HuiLing (ir)rationally ordered this super prawn rice!To be frank it's not bad and really worthy la
My dessert Chocolate ice-cream... I also wondered why I chose chocolate instead of many other flavours out there...
Again HL proved her taste/luck by choosing this delicious banana cake (or waffle?)
Jaded enough guys straight back to bed once after dinner. And around 5am we were awaken by HL due to her plan to witness the sunrise!Girl...
We sacrificed our sleeping time and yet found the view of sunrise would be blocked unless we took cab to Yellow Sanddune which was obstacle-free to observe sunrise... So 3 guys+ 1 girl were left emptily at the seaside
At least we were rewarded by the scene of local fishing 'tarik-jaring'
