Nha Trang - Vietnam

We are OK - but have been in a bus accident from Hoi An to Nha Trang in Vietnam. Althougth no one on the bus was hurt at 5am today, the bus ran into a Vietnamese lady on a bike. We had already left 4 hours late and then this. Ian was off the bus before I knew it, and was checking out the accident, to see what he could do. A german lady (who turned out to be a nurse was also with him attending to the woman). I was the runner who was getting the necessities, i.e. first aid kit with the emergency silver blanket, and water, and something for mouth to mouth. Unfortunately, the woman had lost a lot of blood, and I ended up talking the nurse through not trying any further medical attention. We didn't know whether an ambulance had been called, we could have been in the middle of no where, and did not know whether someone could have got to her, or even, gotten her to a hospital. There were many locals standing around (doing nothing) and (they didn't speak english) suggesting through pointing to leave her. No medical attention came for her. She would have had a lot of internal injuries. There was a german guy who had seen the lady on the bike and the bus hit her. My instincts was to give him debriefing, and then felt somewhat useless. We did talk quite a bit and hopefully that helped. It didn't really hit home until the family arrived about 2 hours later and were grieving. Of course, am now thinking of it every now and then. We had to wait for 3 hours until a new bus came to get us, watching locals herd around and check whether they knew her. Then 7kms before our destination, we ran out of petrol. Shit day really. Arrived. Had an English Breakfast and then slept until 5pm. Nha Trang claims to be the premier scuba diving spot in Vietnam. It has a booming fishing industry and is also known for its salt production. We spent all of our time here on the beach and no sight seeing at all. Swimming, massage and manicure. We spent our days with the couples from the previous town - Bren and Gumi, Jen and Jez and Kim and Clay at La Louisiane Cafe and then spent the nights having half price drinks for happy hour at The Sailing Club and then onto dinner with them. We had some great meals. One of our highlights was having a lobster and prawns cooked for us on the beach by a local carrying her BBQ. It hardly cost a thing, and we sat back under our umbrellas and enjoyed it with a couple of cold beers. Heaven! Ian did go scuba diving one morning. The other activities you could do here, would be boat cruises, visiting Whale Island, and there is apparently an amazing exclusive beach called Jungle Beach that we were told was just amazing. It is written up in the Lonely Planet, but you have to book in advance because they only take 15 people at a time.
