A month went by so quickly... a bit sad to have to leave Thailand I boarded the plane bound for Da Nang, Vietnam. π»π³ [/uploads/7b03d790-81d4-11e9-950d-2f50ab7649cb.jpg_small.jpg] Since I arrived early in the morning but was too tired for any activities, I spontaneously decided to spend a day at the beach. My FIRST BEACH in Asia after a month π₯³π And this one was quite impressive: [/uploads/6e489090-81d4-11e9-950d-2f50ab7649cb.jpg_small.jpg] Because in contrast to most other beaches in Vietnam, as I will unfortunately find out on my later trip, this one is incredibly clean ππ½ After an incredibly relaxed beach day (I think I sizzled in the sun for 5 hours) I not only had a decent sunburn, but also a lot of steam... π [/uploads/97fed160-81d4-11e9-950d-2f50ab7649cb.jpg_small.jpg] Luckily for me I found an amazing Italian π #torinorrstaurantandbakery After that I just went to bed, because the next day sightseeing was extremely popular πͺπΌπ First of all, I went to the Marble mountains, well... to be honest only to one of them π to visit the caves there. In addition, the view from the top should simply be great...π [/uploads/b2eb0f70-81d4-11e9-950d-2f50ab7649cb.jpg_small.jpg] After I had smuggled past the tourist entrances with my rented scooter (a "parking attendant" followed me for more than 2 kilometers), I found this nice path here. I knew the approximate direction, so I just tried to find the caves on good luckπ€ [/uploads/b3c73ea0-81d4-11e9-b198-9572d1a2e792.jpg_small.jpg] Even the path through this "secret" garden was wonderful... apart from me, there was no other person to be seen... [/uploads/86d15da0-840d-11e9-9d1c-7fb1e4f3cefa.jpg_small.jpg] I found the one or other Buddha π [/uploads/c994e350-840d-11e9-bb78-c3edcbe76720.jpg_small.jpg] Let's go upstairs πͺπΌ [/uploads/d6b79eb0-840d-11e9-bb78-c3edcbe76720.jpg_small.jpg] About halfway up there were two little houses... [/uploads/dfe949c0-840d-11e9-9d1c-7fb1e4f3cefa.jpg_small.jpg] Inside I found this figure π― no idea why, but I was so fascinated by it that I sat down and just stared at it for at least a quarter of an hour π [/uploads/08ec8e40-840e-11e9-9d1c-7fb1e4f3cefa.jpg_small.jpg] Around every corner there was a mini temple with Buddha statues, both Thai and Chinese. [/uploads/1ebf1a80-840e-11e9-bb78-c3edcbe76720.jpg_small.jpg] From this temple it was only felt like 5000 steps to the top π [/uploads/2fad5cd0-840e-11e9-bb78-c3edcbe76720.jpg_small.jpg] From where I then had this view π. I also visited the mountains that you can see in the background that day, but more on that later.π There were a total of 3 caves to visit, but only one was really worth seeing. [/uploads/7d031410-8473-11e9-9d1c-7fb1e4f3cefa.jpg_small.jpg] Haha you can already see in the picture that the gates and gates were made for smaller people π. This is the entrance to the most beautiful caveπ [/uploads/85d9cde0-8473-11e9-9d1c-7fb1e4f3cefa.jpg_small.jpg] So here are the tourists ππ½π [/uploads/90477b60-8473-11e9-bb78-c3edcbe76720.jpg_small.jpg] Hard to capture that in a picture but the sight was divine π [/uploads/9a775c90-8473-11e9-9d1c-7fb1e4f3cefa.jpg_small.jpg] A quick selfie and then we go to lunch (at 4 p.m.)π [/uploads/c9d58570-8473-11e9-bb78-c3edcbe76720.jpg_small.jpg] Very modest, right by the seaπ. The fish cost me about as much as four nights in a good hostel but what the hell.. you only live once and the fish was REALLY awesome π [/uploads/d385d660-8473-11e9-9d1c-7fb1e4f3cefa.jpg_small.jpg] ... especially with this view... Since I wanted to see the sunset from the top of the mountain, I had to hurry a bit (the sun went down around 6 p.m. here) but I couldn't avoid another stop... [/uploads/ed28f2a0-8473-11e9-bb78-c3edcbe76720.jpg_small.jpg] How wonderful is that please?!? π [/uploads/2199a160-8474-11e9-bb78-c3edcbe76720.jpg_small.jpg] And just in time for sunset I made it to the top after allπ [/uploads/2d6aaf70-8474-11e9-bb78-c3edcbe76720.jpg_small.jpg] And also saw Da Nang at night π€© (from the mountain I had previously seen from the Marble Mountains) [/uploads/492cdb20-8474-11e9-bb78-c3edcbe76720.jpg_small.jpg] Aaabut the night was still young, so the highlights of the city were also taken along (why pay for the scooter for two days when you can do it sporty in one dayπ... and i.where had to be saved if you used your budget for hit a gourmet fish on the head ππ) So next stop: love street β€ Heart wherever you looked.. but if, like me, you're not in love at all, you're more interested in the colleague in the background π [/uploads/5e9f1ef0-8474-11e9-bb78-c3edcbe76720.jpg_small.jpg] The Dragon Bridge in Da Nang is the largest of its kind in the world... [/uploads/75cf3f60-8474-11e9-9d1c-7fb1e4f3cefa.jpg_small.jpg] ...and even changes color π [/uploads/8a01fe50-8474-11e9-9d1c-7fb1e4f3cefa.jpg_small.jpg] Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the Ferris wheel anymore... but I already had the pleasure of seeing Da Nang from above...π DA NANG, it was an honor! The next morning, after 2 days, I finally went on to Hoi an...π
