Sandboarding and Fairy Springs

 We headed to the very windy beach strip of Mui Ne with our accommo looking out to sea! Lahvely! We took a jeep tour of the sights around Mui Ne first stopping at the incredibly orange and beautiful Fairy Springs, and it was so refreshing to paddle along the stream and through the tropical trees and ravine.

Fairy springs, apparently sees the odd ox-cart trundling through

The white sand dunes just up the road were mental. It was like being on another planet: a lake filled with lilies, next to that a pine forest, and then the glaring white sand dunes. It was such a bizarre landscape.

White sand dunes, lilies, and shrubs with pine forest behind me from where I took the photo and huge white sand dunes to the right (and painful sand dunes! The wind was up when we reached the top of the dunes and it felt like millions of little needles being hurled at your flesh. Ouch)

We were then whisked away to yet more dunes, located not so far away, for a disappointingly cloudy sunset, however, this didn't matter as our jeep driver gave us a plastic sledge to taboggan down the steep sandy slopes. It was like being a little kid again sledging in the snow! I screamed and laughed all the way down the slope!
Hmmm, I don't think the depth came out on this photo but the way down was very steep and long. Fun times!
