Phan Rang to Co Thach Beach to Mui Ne

The guys heading out for Dalat from Phan Rang

                                     Views from the road

                                                        miles and miles of krill
                                                    and harvesting salt across the roa

                                lots of seafood at Co Thach Beach


We had wonderful views most of the way with some interesting things along the way. The first day took us along a steep rocky hillside with views to the water below.  The road was very quiet and windy with nice up and downs.  When we got down to the next valley we came into a major fishing area with miles of krill being dried on the roadway and any wide spots along the road. We eventually rolled into Co Thach Beach and it was a very pleasant surprise!  We were the only foreigners but being the last days of Tet the town was a wonderful form of bedlam with seafood and other food venders alongside other wares all the 5 or 6 blocks down to this interesting beach of strange rock formations and mobs of vacationing Vietnamese.  On the way back up we walked over to an amazing temple complex I had read about that was built into more of these rock outcroppings that rose up the hillside.

From Co Thach the next morning we road 66 Km to Mui Ne and arrived at our destination for two days, the Blue Shell Resort.  It has been a well deserved splurge and has been a fantastic day and a half.  The resort is also a Kiteboarding center so it has been fun to watch between dips in the pool and the ocean!

Ahhhhhh.....nothing like a rest day.  We are enjoying a nice reprieve from n
                                  riding in 90 degree heat to just lying in it!
