3rd May - Danang, Marble Mountain and China Beach

Another hot day, so we decided to climb a mountain (of course!)

Climbing the 100s of steps up Marble Mountain in the 35C+ heat!
 Almost at the top of Marble Mountain
Praying to the Goddess of the Buddha in the caves. Used by the Viet Cong in the war. 
View from the top. There are other mountains
As you might expect, Marble Mountain is surrounded by shops and factories making marble ornaments. These were a bit too big for the suitcase.
Looking back up Marble Mountain.
China Beach. Used for R&R by the Yanks in the war. Now being developed into an international tourist resort.
