Vietnam is known for it’s cheap eats but we decided to go to a resort where it is not so cheap. During the day we hiked into the marble mountains. They are quit amazing to look at. They just jet out from the ground from out of nowhere. They are not your typical looking mountains. Oh yeah, and they are marble. There are marble shops all around the mountains with some beautiful stuff. When you hike up the mountains there are caves you can go into and find temples. One of the caves was bombed in WWII and left big holes at the top of the cave where light shines as beams into the cave. It’s really cool and beautiful. After climbing thought the caves and reaching the top we came down to our cabby who was waiting for us, and he took us to the Furama Resort on China Beach. We ran out to the big waves and had some fun in the water. The restaurant was in the resort that over looked there beautiful pool and the beach. We got a few drinks and some lunch there. Unfortunately, it was a very Americanized menu. The food was good but I was looking forward to something authentic. The highlight of the day was seeing the marble mountains and hiking through the caves. For more pictures of Da Nang click here.
