After waking up very early for the sunrise tour of Mui Ne’s sand dunes, and then visiting a fishing harbour and the Fairy Stream, I was dropped back at my hotel by noon.

After unloading my camera gear and washing up, I stepped out to have an early lunch as I barely had much for breakfast.

Seaside restaurants Mui Ne Vietnam — I sat down at a seafood restaurant just across from my hotel

It was one of those places where fresh seafood was on display, customers pick what they want, and ask the restaurant to cook it the way you want.

Grilled prawns french fries Mui Ne Vietnam — I had a slow, heavy meal of grilled prawns, fries, a small plate of cheese oysters and a beer

For 500gms of prawns, 1 x cheese oyster, 1 Saigon beer, and plate of french fries, I paid 230,000 VND (₹750/$10/€9).

I ate a hearty meal to the soothing sound of waves crashing. It was a relaxing lunch and I began to feel sleepy. I went back to my room, slept well, and only got up in the evening. There wasn’t much to do as this would be my last night in Mui Ne. So I stepped out to get a massage. I wanted to try a Vietnamese massage.

I got one at a spa nearby and it was great! The masseuse massaged me from head to toe and cost just 100,000 VND (₹320/$4.4/€3.9) for an hour.

I had a light dinner and tried a fish-shaped ice cream for dessert.

After doing some work, I went to sleep.
