I would like to talk about a holiday I went on in the south of Vietnam just a few
months ago. I went with my parents to a town called Nha Trang, which is a lovely
coastal town, and we decided to go there so that they could experience a different
part of the country and see life by the beach.
We flew there from Hanoi, which is the capital of Vietnam. The flight took about 1
hour and on the whole it went smoothly. We managed to be one of the first on
board and one of the first off when we landed. It was certainly quicker and easier
than going by train, which can take over 15 hours.
There was so much to do there that we only had a chance to do just a few things on
our three day trip. We took a cruise around the islands and also did some
sightseeing inland as well. Taking part in a cookery course was great fun, where we
bought fresh ingredients at the local market and learned how to use a wok to fry
fresh fish and other seafood like crab and lobster.
We definitely enjoyed our trip and would go there again if we could. Seeing the
colourful lifestyle of the locals and having a chance to see spectacular scenery was
something we will never forget. For my parents it was a holiday of a life time and
they’re still talking about it. If I could live there, I would.
