Leaving Nha Trang today. While this city is pretty touristed out, it has been a nice place to chill and recover.
Recover from a motorbike accident that we had about 5 nights ago.
It was pretty intense.
We were driving through a little city, on a street with a median, and this man pulls out in front of us to turn left, and sees the sea of motorbikes coming straight for him at 50-60kph, and freezes. T.J. swerved to avoid him, but to no avail we ran stright into the side of his bike, causing a horrible crash, with the bike landing on my left leg. I think I was crying before I even hit the ground. I was so frightened of being run over, that I barely realized that I was hurt. My leg is still sore, and scratched and bruised, as well as my right hip. It could have been much worse. I am really glad that helmets are manditory here for drivers and passengers (though most children don't wear them, which I think is almost backwards) because I did hit my head. The guy we hit suddenly stood right up, and was covered by a mob of Vietnamese, as well as TJ and I. Then all of a sudden he was gone. We were preoccupied with women lifting our clothes and cleaning out our wounds, we didn't even noticed he left.
Not like we would, or could, have called the cops, as we wouldn't be able to communicate, and nothing would be done. To us, anyways. I hope that the man we hit is O.K.....though we do wonder if he just left straight away because of "White Tourists". dun dun duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

So, we spent the first 2 days relaxing and recovering, just hanging out at the beach, though I didn't swim. I know salt water is supposed to be good for wounds, but there is a lot of bacteria in the water, and it f-ing hurts.

Then we went to Vinpearl Land, which is an island that has an amusment and water park, a white sandy beach, and games. You take a gondola over the ocean to get there. It was so fun to run around like a kid. We were probably the only adults there with no children. :)

We have to have the motorbike back to Saigon on the 6th, and then we'll leave on a train for our last train trip(s) north and back...for our flight...

I don't want to go home.
If it weren't for my amesome family, I think I would extend my trip.
