Vung tau seafood dinner on the beach and sunset

The other night we had an amazing dinner right on the beach. We sat down near this vendor and ngocs sis painstakingly chose which seafood they would cook for us. We drank cold beer while they cooked the food. About 20 feet away there were some men fishing for crabs at the waters edge. Once they had a fresh batch we had them steam 2 large ones for us. Can you say local? We sat laughing and joking in the fluorescent light of the vendors while eating our crabs and getting drunk. What a beautiful way to end a long hot day in the sun.

After the food we realized that we didn't bring much money for the rest of the night. No problem, we will make the money last! We bargained with 2 "huggy" bikes for a ride to a spot for dessert. We jumped on the back of their motor bikes and had the ride of a lifetime! For less that $3 we got a 15 minute motor bike ride, four servings of jaa (rice puddingish with beans or tapioca), and a ride home!
