Xuan arranged a Jeep tour for us to take a drive and see some sights a little farther away than the beach.
Original Doi Duong fishing village in Mui Ne.
Up close, the boats were so beautiful.
Xuan's paparazzi shot f Ashley and me :)
Xuan hijacked Ashley's camera saying, "This is mine!"
He enjoyed taking pictures of his country and taking pictures of us!
"It is not lucky to have lady inside the boat." -Xuan
The little round boats are Coracles:
Coracles can be effective fishing vessels.
When operated skilfully, they hardly disturb the water or the fish.
Many coracles are so light and portable that they can easily be carried on the fisherman's shoulders.
In Vietnam, elegant coracles constructed with bamboo, are still used from many beaches, such as at Nha Trang, Phan Thiết and Mui Ne. The coracles are towed in a line behind a motor boat, like beads on a string, to their fishing ground. There the fisherman lay fishing nets in the sea before another tow returns them with their catch.
