Tuy Hoa - Vietnam

"Well, here I am in Tuy Hoa, a small city on the central coast of Vietnam. I'm in the 'house' (its like a workshop with an apartment above it) of some random old people that I just met, stealing their internet. Actually its the house of the parents of the husband of one of the ladies that brought me here. My boss/tour guide, I guess. I came with her and her assistant, who think its great fun to hang out with a foreigner, and keep trying to give me food and drink! Vietnamese are too kind!
The train ride, which was supposed to be 10 hours, turned out to be 12 hours. Vietnam has only one train line, most of which is a single track, running north-south, so we had to stop a dozen times for trains to pass the other way. I was stuck in a very cramped cabin with a bunch of Vietnamese, trying to teach them how to play I spy, and trying to explain what a prawn was. And there was some little kid that I kept scaring, by trying to ask him his age in Vietnamese. We left Saigon at 3pm, and got to Tuy Hoa at 3am."

The City of Tuy Hoa

Ghenh Da Dia

Ghenh Da Dia is a mystery of nature. Ghenh Da Dia is a rocky area of ever five-angular rocks, stacked or adjacent. From afar it seems as if people have piled up this way. You can compare it to the honeycombs of a beehive. Ghenh Da Dia is situated 30 km outside Tuy Hoa.
It must have been millions of years ago after an eruption of a volcano, when a lava flow reached the cool water and solidified. The field of Ghen Da Dia is one km2 and lies half sea and half above sea level.
In the vicinity of these rocks is a beautiful beach with turquoise water. The place itself attracts couples, who are just married to take wedding photographs.
The beach is known as "Almond Beach" where the almond trees just grow into the wild.

The place is difficult to reach by land with its winding roads. Most tourists choose to come by boat across the sea. Then they depart from the port of Tuy Hoa and they can enjoy the fascinating landscape: the winding roads ashore, the islands and beaches. This trip takes two hours.
