Binh Chau Hot Springs & Mud Baths

By minats - August 18, 2008

Oh, I must say time is really flying here. We're leaving for Hanoi tomorrow and tonight I'm sending the last post from this splendid but a bit weird place - Long Hai (a tiny village near our hotel). The thing is that here I really first realized what the tropical climate is like: sudden downpours, sunny spells, thick fogs, starless nights and the last but not least - sand bugs, Yes, they are microscopic, living on sand and flying only to eat human body ( I've been eaten all over while lying on the beach with a book).

The Tsar's family frequently visited Diveevo before Revolution in October 1917 for advice and worshipping. The tree has a small inscription on the stem about the Prince. Strange as it may seem, but the tree is really very different from other trees there as if it has been accumulating energy for almost 100 years, when it was planted and now it is very strong and healthy. The famous Holy ...
