This trip includes everything you can imagine and more. It was highly recommended by our Lonely Planet book as well as other travelers, we decided to hop on board the touristy, kitchy, all inclusive boat trip around the nearby islands here in Nha Trang. We got to the boat and it was full of Asian tourists who stared at us strangely. We both looked at each other and thought, "oh crap do we really want to do this???" Then a few more tourists that looked like backpackers got on to the ship, hurray! We chatted up a two people from Montreal, they were great and mentioned to us that they were relieved to see other westerners. Another few folks got on the ship and we set sail. The trip started off pretty quiet and relaxed...but then the party got started after lunch as soon as the boat staff created a "live show" for us. This live show was hilarious. They sang a few songs accompanied by an old guy with huge glasses on guitar and a drum set made of old plastic pails, awesome. The "band" then pulled up tourists from various countries and hand then sing a song from where they were from. Waltzing Matilda from Australia was by far the liveliest of the offerings. Although the Frere Jacques in Chinese was also a fun listen. We being from the US were lumped together with Canada and England and we were pulled up on stage to sing Yellow Submarine. We knew only the words to the chorus...
After this they threw a guy in the water and created a "floating bar" serving the most disgusting red wine imaginable. Think Maneschevitz mixed with Brandy...ugh. Most of us poured ours into the water and then got stung by jelly-fish, fun times.
In all the day was great. We met good people to hang out with tonight and got some fantastic videos of us dancing in towels and bathing suit while doing the Twist in 12 different languages.
