Mui Né

On the road…

Here are some of my first pix at the Allezboo Resort, including a mini-iguana and a cool little doggie…

More pix of the Allezboo and the beach at Mui Né…

Just flowers and a bruised banana slug…

Next door to the Allezboo is either a new resort being built or an old one being rehabilitated. It looked like several folks were living in a couple little corrugated shanties there.

With clay and limestone cliffs on one side and tropical vegetation (palms, bamboo, bananas, etc.) on the other side it was a delightful walk up shallow little stream. There were red sand dunes (cool & different from what I’ve seen before) and intricately eroded off-white cliffs and out croppings. Several other tourists were enjoying the barefoot walk in the stream…
