Ho Chi Minh City to Nha Trang

We decided to take the day train to Nha Trang. It left Ho Chi Minh city at 9am and was supposed to be 7hours. We figured we'd done six hours on bus we could do seven on a train.  It took a bit over seven hours, we got in at around 5.30pm. It was a longer day than we had planned, but it was fine. We were able to buy food and drinks on the train. (From a very limited range of snack foods)  

There was a young girl and her grandmother travelling on the same carriage as us. She provided me with a great deal of entertainment :)  we played for a long time on the iPad taking photos. The grandmother bought some fruit from a seller on the train. She insisted we took some. We were wary as we didn't know what they were. They tasted like apples but didn't have a core, instead had a pip in the middle. Apart from the train trip taking longer than we thought it went well. We asked one of the train guards how long until our stop, then he came back to make sure we got off at the right place which was great as it was dark and we would have had no idea otherwise. 

When we arrived in Nha Trang it raining again so we got a taxi straight to our hotel. After checking in we wanted to find some dinner, it had been a long day on the train eating junk food and we both wanted some proper food.  We went to a place just across the road from our hotel. We had been told was that Nha Trang is full of Russians, they were right, so much so that all the menus etc are in Vietnamese, Russian and English. We often got mistaken as Russians until people spoke Russian to us and It was plain we had no idea what was being said!
