One of my favorite experiences while in Vietnam was seeing the stunning white sand dunes in Mũi Né. Once again, Xuan took us on our own personal tour {we even got to ride along in our own Jeep!} It was nice; as many tourists visit the dunes in large groups and pay about $7 USD for a jeep {cheap, but still!}. The drive to the dunes offered a wonderful view of Mũi Né's iconic white sand beaches, a colorful fishing village in Phan Thiết, and the location of the red sand dunes, as well. How the two very different sand colors co-exist so closely is a mystery; I had trouble finding this out from the locals.

After 45 minutes of driving, some of which was bumpy, unpaved roads, we arrived:

{Bulls roaming around everywhere in Vietnam. In touch with my Taurus spirit ;).}
{A lone swan boat on the lake.}

{The beautiful sand dunes: The pictures don't do the actual sights justice: The hills looked like something from the Gobi Desert, and the sun cast shadows that created a brilliant contrast in the ever changing sand shapes}.
