Show Me the Mui Ne!

Ok, so we're in the most amazing place in the world, sheerly by fluke.

Here's how:

Daina, Stu, and I were trudging around looking for a cheap hostel to stay at here in Mui Ne.

Rewind...

Mui Ne is 20 km of beach.. Mui Ne is also resort after resort after resort... all beach front, all running for about 25 bucks a night (bare in mind, the rooms are not spectacular... but they're beach front so they can get away with that price... which to the rest of you is the cheapest thing you've heard in a long time, but to us is highway robbery!)

Back to the search...

We saw this place that looked huge and awesome and we decided just to go in and ask how much it would cost.

We quickly realized the place was GOERGOUS.. like probably a 6 star resort, BUT it was unfinished and therefore had no guest, reception or anything.
There were some gold tooth men sitting around and playing cards and we asked them how much to stay there, or if we could stay there at all.

They didn't speak a lick of english... neither did the ladies that came out... BUT one little girl did and she was translating for us (she's 10 years old).

We found out that the place was so not up and running but decided to take a look at the rooms that were finished.

They were UNBELIEVABLE. The most amazing rooms ever. HUGE, brand new, big TV, big brand new bathrooms.... we knew it was a no brainer.... and they said TEN bucks a night... beach front, with a balcony. The nicest resort on the beach.

We are literally living in the lap of luxury and in the whole hotel it's just me, stu, kris, and daina!!!

The past few days have been amazing...

more about that later, we're actually just about to head for dinner, but there are some interesting stories to come, so stay tuned!
