We decided to rent a motorcycle to explore DaNang and surroundings. I look like Colonel Klink ...lol
I was nervous at first because the drivers here are crazy but Ron was great and it gave me confidence.
First stop Marble Mountain, a cluster of five marble and limestone hills south of Da Nang. The five mountains are named after the five elements: Kim (metal), Thuy (water), Moc (wood), Hoa (fire) and Tho (earth). All of the mountains have cave entrances and numerous tunnels. Several Buddhist sanctuaries are in the mountains, making this a famous tourist destination. The grottos were amazing and soooo huge.... hard to show in a photo.
All carved in marble
Travelling through DaNang we saw the fisherman's harbour with DaNang in the background.
A beautiful long stretch of beach but not many people on a cloudy, chilly day.
Ron looking good 😍💕
Next stop was Monkey Mountain, where there was a 67 metre-tall white statue of the Goddess of Mercy, on top a lotus-shaped platform. It is the tallest statue of the deity in Southeast Asia ...17 levels and a total of 21 miniature Buddha sculptures. Very impressive !!!

We were cold when we got back so we went to Soul Kitchen to have a tequila to warm up
