While Ho Chi Min (Saigon) is the Capital of Vietnam, Nha Trang is the little beach town where not only do the Vietnamese vacation, but it has much, much more than just a beach. It is also home of some of the best temples and Buddhas in the world. Follow me to the Visionary Vietnam!
Asia is really best visited and traveled by cruise- I have never known about some of the most amazing places in the world if I didn’t take a cruise- they are just so magical and you wake up in a different country or island everyday. It is great too because if you like a place you visit, you can go back! If you don’t like a place, you jump right back on the boat!

In Nha Trang the first “must see” is Long Son Pagoda. This is so incredible- it is home to one of the most magical laying Buddhas I have ever seen as well as to one of the biggest Buddha’s in the world. The sitting Buddha is so big too that it sits on a mountain top over looking the whole town. No matter where you are in Nha Trang, you will see this him and what a sight to see. Breathtaking. Once you reach to the top of the mountain where Buddha is sitting, you can sit and take in all the scenery while eating and drinking a fresh young coconut. THE LIFE…
After our young coconut and mountain hike to see a huge Buddha, we went over the the Po Nagar Cham Towers. These towers are for the Hindu, Vietnamese, Thai and Cambodians. It was so cool to see all these little towers- each tower had its own little temple inside that you would pray in. We even got these cute robes that we had to wear out of respect for the temples- we looked like we were in psychiatric hospitals hahaha but it was worth it!! Especially seeing pops look like Don King!!!

Once we were again, all temple’d out haha, we headed right back onto the ship as our next stop was Ho Chi Min!! The capital of Vietnam as well as one of my favorite places for not only the scenery- but the jewelry, of course the food, but better yet?? THE COFFEE♥ Vietnam is known for the most amazing coffee in the world- it tastes like pure chocolate. They give you your own little coffee maker with hot water, coffee and condensded milk and once it is brewed, you can enjoy it like a latte or even an iced latte. You have to go to Vietnam JUST to drink the coffee!!!
So pack your bag, book your flight below and lets goooo!
