We found a cab, and soon we were on our way to Mui Ne, where the full moon resort was.
Reaching the resort took a little longer than expected, because our cab driver had taken us to the wrong place, and we had stopped for a drink there while we waited for the free shuttle that went to and from resorts to come. When we arrived after a 1 hour drive, we were amazed. It appeared that we had stepped out of reality into a luxury travel magazine!
the pool alone was pretty awesome!!!
We were staying in villa 17, the 'dragon fruit' villa (they all had fruit related names)
Mum said she could happily live there, and I agree, it was bigger than our apartment! That night, after dinner the staff told us that they had a special dessert for us, since it was our first day here. I didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary. That is, until the lights went out and the chef came in carrying A huge cake with 'Happy Birthday Phil' iced onto it!!!!
How did they know it was his birthday? They saw it in his passport! How thoughtful of them. The next day, after a buffet breakfast (chiefly consisting of bacon and pancakes!) we donned our togs, and went paddle-boarding!
It took a while, but eventually I managed to stand up on it!!! I was a happy 13 year old!!
Our instructor was really helpful!
The rest of the day was filled with swimming, watching TV, eating and relaxing.
On Sunday, I went beach combing and found a ton of strange T-shaped shells that, as it turns out were white hammer oyster shells.
I didn't swim in the beach much that day, due to the huge jellyfish I had seen roaming around in the waves.
Eek! The train ride home was pretty uneventful, though at one point we passed a HUGE crater-like hole with diggers in it, which was pretty interesting. My legs were REALLY achy from crouching on the paddle-board, and still are, a bit!
