Our day started with a walking tour of the waterfront, fishing area, and market. We also walked through some of the back streets of the village which gave us a unique view into the local life. The market was packed with fruits, vegetables, fresh fish, chicken, and all sorts of fresh made food. The only tough part was that most of the market was covered with tarps that were only 5ft off the ground, so both of us needed to bend over while walking.

Once we were done at the market we came back to the hotel for breakfast. We rested a bit and then walked across the street to rent a scooter. We took the scooter out all afternoon to explore the city and drive up the coast for a few hours. On our ride we stopped at some sand dunes and they just so happened to have ostriches there that we could ride. We both rode an ostrich... Kinda weird. Since we had to off-road a bit to get to the sand dune, Yvonne got a chance to drive in a safe area. Today was filled with firsts for Yvonne. First time driving a scooter, first time riding an ostrich!

We brought some food back to the hotel so that we could eat while watching the sunset. Later in the night we took the scooter (we have it for 24 hours!) outside the city to find a super remote resturaunt. Probably not a good idea in retrospect and on top of that the food was not very good. Today was actually a sad day for food, our second best meal was the mentos and water we had for desert :) Tomorrow we plan to stick to street food since that has not done us wrong in Mui Ne.

We head back to Saigon tomorrow. So probably a morning scooter ride into the village for some street pho, and then most the day on the bus.
