Mui Ne was fabulous. It’s somewhat of a resort town consisting of one long main street of restaurants and resorts, with great deals to be had at the little guest houses in between. Most people come here for the beach, which even compared to those we’ve seen during our travels, ranks at the top. But aside from lying around on the soft sandy shore, we took a half day trip to see some of the surrounding sights, including the White Sand Dunes, which the area is also famous for. Who knew there was a mini Sahara in Vietnam? For less than a buck, you can rent sleds from the local kids and give it a go. For your entertainment, here’s a play by play of how I fared.
Me and my sled are ready to go
Posing at the top
Getting a little push
Zooming down the dune. These plastic sheets go fast!
Succesful first run. The hardest part is walking back up.
Off to tackle the big dune
Holding on tight and trying to keep the sled straight
Uh oh…starting to lose control
Taking a tumble. That’s me flat on my face and my sled…way over there.
