From Nha Trang to Van Gia

I left Nha Trang at lunchtime on a local bus that heads to Van Gia. It is bus number one, it’s cheap and takes less than 1 hour to get to Van Gia- say “Van Zá” unless you want all people on the bus laughing at you, that’s what happened to me.Bus number on...

Sleeping in Van Gia

The woman at the counter told me that I need to be back the next morning very early in a chance to have more people to join on the boat ride. The boat doesn’t leave unless it has a significant number of people, so I’m always depending on other people goi...

Watching the sunset in Van Gia

After a lot of searches, I found nothing to see or do in Van Gia. But before sunset, I decided to go out for a walk just to check what was around. And that was a great idea. Van Gia offers a very beautiful sunset scenario and I loved to be there. I’m...

Boat from Van Gia to Diep Son

The next day in the morning, at 7 am I am already at the pier. I managed to have some food with me for breakfast as I was expecting to have lunch on the island. Luckily, there was this other family of 7 people already at the pier. I didn’t see anybody ...

Exploring Diep Son Island

After struggling to get my GPS sign, I finally got it and realized that I shouldn’t be at this island but on the furthest one instead. It looks far but I have no idea how long will it take to get there if I walk. Plus, the 3 islands are only connecte...

Boat from Diep Son to Van Gia

I think that the boats depart too early. The last boat departed at 1.30 pm and I had no other choice but go at that time. I didn’t explore this island a single bit and I’m disappointed about that. There must be some viewpoint that allows me to watch the beauty of these islands when watched from above. I pity that nothing happened as I had planned or expected but at the same time, I was happy that it happened that way as otherwise, I wouldn’t have found the Nautilus or the most beautiful beach on the islands.I went back from Diep Son to Van Gia at 1:30 pm the same day I arrived in Diep Son. The boat was filled with Vietnamese and some gross ones. It never happened to me before in Vietnam, but I had the unluck of having this gross guy staring at me with a disgusting look. And I wasn’t even showing that much skin… I noticed that he was staring repeatedly and that was bothering me a lot but I had not much where else to look as the view was covered by other people’s heads. He even tried to talk to me but I ignored him. I felt bad for doing it. This boat trip was very embarrassing and I felt very bad for being there. Luckily the trip from Diep Son to Van Gia doesn’t take long…

Bus from Van Gia to Nha Trang

The next thing I do is heading to the main street where I know the bus to Nha Trang passes by. Finding the bus station was not easy as I know that many times there are absolutely no informative boards on where the bus stops. I needed to ask someone on t...
