Day 11 - Mui Ne

Happy birthday Milla! Today began bright and early with a present hunt around our bungalow. Although not very well hidden, finding the presents did prove a bit of a trick since they were wrapped in only plastic bags, newspaper and air sickness bags, which although handy since they were readily available, were not particularly obvious like wrapping paper usually is.

After finding all the presents, we headed off for a breakfast and then to the pool for yet another swim. You'd think after a few days we might get tired of this routine but apparently relaxing never gets dull - I LOVE this place! I could certainly get used to the resort life -another cocktail madame?



After a few laps in the pool we decided to brave the ocean, rented boogie boards in hand. No question, the waves of Mui Ne are the roughest I've ever been in, hands down. Seriously, go in up to your ankles and you're being knocked over! But for one glorious moment I successfully rode a wave to shore and it was fantastic!! Admittedly, I had to fall of my board, hit the sand and bend the board practically in half about thirty times before my moment of victory, but I had my moment and it was glorious!! Sadly, there's no photographic evidence so you'll just have to take my word for it, but trust me, I was a graceful gazelle of the waves.

Finally, we emerged from the ocean, exhausted and beraggled but happy. Then it was time for another afternoon of indulgence, this time with manicures and pedicures - something I'd never had before. I was a bit concerned that there might not be enough to work with since I tend to bite my fingernails down to nubs (lovely image hmm?) but somehow those ladies pulled of a miracle and my hands look amazing (as do my feet!). Tracey and Milla are also looking gorgeous of course!



After such a wonderful relax, we decided to get gussied up for dinner, which tonight was a buffet by the pool. How amazing is this place?!? The surroundings are so beautiful - I feel like I could happily stay here forever - and we're leaving tomorrow *sigh*
