Da Nang

Sleeping in was amazing today after all the travel. Luckily a lot of things still happen well into the evening including the night markets that don’t even open until well after sunset.

Beautiful day, time to explore Da Nang

Started out our day going to view the tallest buddah statue Lady Buddha and the surrounding temples,statues, gardens, and pagodas. http://www.ladybuddha.org/

Shawn is wary of the evil monkeys, they were trying to steal people’s food from their hands.

Later we went to check out the Dragon Bridge and nearby Night Market for some food and shopping. Unfortunately the dragon bridge fire show only happens on the weekends now, so here’s a video https://youtu.be/UMrqcep-dUc

Son Tra Night Market

Pork, mushrooms, chicken, vegetables, and squid

Tried a piece of the infamous Durian Fruit. Its not as bad as people make it out to be. Shawn was too chicken to try it. Google it if you’ve never heard about it’s reputation.

Time for a night cap, so we found a Tiki Bar with some delicious cocktails.
