Vin Pearl - 3rd December 2009

The bus out of Nha Trang was at 8 o’clock at night so we spent our last day at the crazy world of Vinpearl. This water / Amusement park is something to be seen – to get there you have to go on a cable car across the sea to an island that is hung 100’s of feet off the ground - lucky we got nice weather as I felt that even a slight breeze and we may blow away! You can see the height of this in the pics. We got there at about 1 which we thought was late but there was no one there and the place was ENORMOUS and loads of staff walking about. It did get busy after but was a bit freaky for a while walking around the rides and shops alone – bit like the film 28 days later or westworld.

Upside of this was that the waterpark had no queues and we ran about it like kids, from one ride to the other. The joint rides were the most fun as I could hear Aileen’s screams close up and she FREAKED out (in a good, fun way) on every slide for all to hear! We met a lovely family (mum, dad and daughter – Eimear!) from the north of Ireland and had a chat with them about the state of football!

The aquarium was great with a moving walkway that took you through the tank with all the fish – madness! The funfair part was not so great….there was a mini rollercoaster but we were a bit daring with the next ride. It held us completely upside down for nearly the entirety of the ride – NOT COOL!! The great thing was that the entry fare covered the cable car, water park, aquarium, amusement park and arcade games – a great way to spend a day waiting for the night bus.
