Lazy day at beach

I had a crappy sleep last night, they didn't g ive u s any sheets, for s ome reason.

I got up about 9:30, Court about 11:00, and about noon, we went for lunch, and decided we should do the SCUBA Open Water Course here in Nha Trang. We headed to the beach after that. Met Dana at the beach. Huge waves crashing into the shore, it was awesome.

While we were on the beach, a guy came along handing out leaflets for Rainbow Scuba Dive operation. He was totally playing up Rainbow, and totally trashing another scuba operation in town, Octopus dive centre. He told us he was working for Octopus, then saw the light, quit there and went to Rainbow. This guys name was Andy, not to be confused with Andy from Shorty's that we met the previous day. He totally sold us on Rainbow.

So, a little while later, Andy from Shorty's Bar came by, and sat and talked to us a while, we remarked about doing scuba, then said he did his scuba thru Octopus, and they were really good. We then told him about Andy from Rainbow, and he laughed. Ends up Andy from Rainbow got fired from Octopus...that was why he was slamming Octopus so hard. Anyway, Andy from Shorty's said Rainbow was very good as well, and recommended both of them.

Courtney kept getting hit on by two Vietnamese locals and t wo Japan ese tourists (who were swimming in their underwear, one w ear ing tightie whities).

We stayed at the beach until about 5:00, met up with Yaneev. Both him and Dana are going to Ho Chi Minh City today. (The space bar sticks, the rest of this journal is go nna l ook funny...I don't have the time to keep correcting the spaces.)

We went for supper at Shorty's, I had a p izza, and we booked an island tour for the next day. Four islands, the first we s norkel, the second island, we eat lun ch , and have a floating bar, the third is free tim e at a sm all resort, th e fourth i s a fishing village, wh ere we can jump off boat and go for rides in neat "circular" b oats.

We sto pped into O ctopus diving centre, and he just didn't impress us with hi s spiel.

We went t o Crazy Kim Bar fo r a while, until about 11:00, th en to th e Sailing Club, bu t it was dead, so went home about m idnight.
