After a marginal night's sleep we woke up at 6 am. Unbeknownst to the kids that they were in bed the night before by 7 pm. They were in their swimsuits very quickly this time with lots of sunscreen and out to the beach.
We didn't realize how high the tide had been the afternoon before until we walked on the beach and all the rocks we climbed on were 30 feet inland from the waves.
The kids again enjoyed swimming and body surfing.
We also found a crab,
and a starfish.
The kids found even more seashells and we just had a great time.
Eric wanted to know how many days we can live at the beach. I think we all felt that way but alas all good things must come to an end and we had to make that 3 1/2 hour trip back to Ho Chi Minh City to get ready to take our flight back to Hong Kong the next day.
When we got back to HCMC we picked up our traditional Vietnamese outfits we had had made while we were on the coast. They look great. We didn't have time to take pictures until we got home but they look pretty cool. We got ready to get on the train to come back to Shanghai and we were all tired but we had had a great trip, even with all the bug bites that itched like crazy.

Ouch! Those bug really had a feast on someone...
What a gorgeous sunrise photo. That should be enlarged and framed! Or sold to a company and reproduced as a postcard. Just beautiful!
I too am just astounded with the great photos you are taking! Keep them coming! It's hard to believe you all can be having such an amazing adventure while I am here in the States churning out the peanut butter sandwiches- not that I'm complaining! :)
