you
I hadn't heard of my name before I arrived in Vietnam but once I arrived in
this country, the name just kept popping up in conversation and now I know why
Monet is one-of-a-kind it's located in South Vietnam a six-hour bus ride from
Ho Chi Minh City after getting here I spend my time on a scooter riding past
miles of red and white sands Hills wind in my hair as I cruise along the sea I
past hundred circular boats that look more like cheap plastic bowls with
fishermen making their living.
about 10 kilometer right outside of town I stopped at the white sand dunes where
jeeps take tourists out for the ride of their lives for a hefty price but my
friends and I opted for the free version a walk straight into the desert a stark
contrast to the scene from earlier my skin gets burned with a minute and I
feel as though I now know what it might be like to get stranded in the desert I
wouldn't last long we're in the desert
-
our next stop is the red sand dunes where instead of going by Jeep tourists
get around by local form of transportation a plastic map yes my dog
it must be the main form of entertainment for the locals here
because every night there are literally thousands sliding down these hills look
it's a matter for free no local price and for inert ice ah
you
now is this the white sand dunes weren't pretty enough and the red dunes weren't
entertaining enough and the scooter ride wasn't fun enough I arrived to the last
place on my list of things to see in Moyne a and I rediscover yet again that
Monet is a land of stark contrasts this is very stream as you do with entering
houses and temples all around Southeast Asia we take off our shoes to enter this
place we walk along the stream for what seems like miles I think that maybe it
seemed that we could walk so slowly taking the beauty of it my feet barely
get in and the water which see who continued at
a height of two or three inches - the whole time with the exception of a
couple spots or after bowl of lectures we wind our way through bamboo forests
red sand cliffs and huge rock boulders at points one kind of strange dense
bamboo jungle the type of the amount of room for while compete away on the other
side it's ready and equipped by the way mean to the best ever.
has to be one of the most memorable I stay in and you're not or maybe in all
Southeast Asia you need to come here.
