Beautiful Faces Nha Trang Vietnam

Beautiful Faces Nha Trang Vietnam & French baguettes are two things I recall when I think about Vietnam.  Other vivid memories are of the motorbikes in Ho Chi Minh City, & the Cu Chi tunnels, however the image that sticks in my mind most of all are the beautiful faces of the people and their children in this amazing country. I think I need to plan a 3rd trip there again soon.

Heading out to catch some fish.

These great looking fishing boats are designed to handle all kinds of weather.

Beautiful Faces Nha Trang Vietnam

How about this beautiful smile? 

Nha Trang Vietnam, good beach, nice town.

All the fishing boats are painted blue, they really look terrific, then again I really like boats. I even found some boat yards where they were repairing and refurbishing some older boats. Constructed from solid timber and designed to handle the rough seas in the monsoon season.

In for repairs

A little panel beating could be required here. 🙂

I really love these fishing boats

Classic lines and a beautiful colour.

Beautiful Faces Nha Trang Vietnam

I found these beautiful kids living in an old tin shed in a shanty town beside the river. If I ever make it back to Nha Trang I will try and find their home to give them a copy of this photo.

Just too cute for words.

 Beautiful faces.

Shanty town

The house at the bottom right is where the children live, you can clearly see the window where they were.  

John Martin aka Pothole with the local children.

John Martin aka Pothole Bin Ladin accompanied me on one of my 2003 trips to Vietnam. Nha Trang has a beautiful long sandy beach. Find yourself a deck chair in front of the yacht club and be prepared to be bombarded by vendors who don’t like to take no for an answer. 😥

A fantastic long sandy beach at Nha Trang.

Sign on beach says “no vendors”

This sign on beach says “no vendors” so every time one would approach I would just point to the sign. Then one guy strolled up, I pointed, and he said quick as a flash, “I can’t read.”  😆

Sidewalk chef, and the food was great.

    

Fresh seafood on the side-walk.

Jack & I eating side-walk seafood

A bottle of local wine to wash down the food.

 Local butcher at work

No refrigeration here and all female butchers.

Always avoid a lady with an axe. 🙂

I guess they have been doing this for centuries.

Lovely Vietnamese girl

  I met Hien online then again in person at Nha Trang.  

Dinner with Hien’s family

I had a lovely night with this wonderful Vietnamese family.

At Jack’s bar with Jack

I met Jack an Australian from the NSW coast , around Coffs Harbour I think, here we are drinking at Jacks Bar in Nha Trang. I went to Saigon in January 2015  to taste the French baguettes and to gaze at the thousands of beautiful faces.

A lasting memory of Nha Trang.

I was here in 2003 and its strange what sticks in your mind. I heard Norah Jones for the first time on the radio and bought the CD the next day, have been a fan ever since, Here is the song,
