Danang - Our private tour took us to Cham Museum.  Here you will find Indonesian relics from bygone years.   Website of this museum http://www.chammuseum.danang.vn/English/Home/tabid/64/Default.aspx

Admiring one of the Cham relics

Resting

We completed viewing this museum in about an hour as it has a small collection of relics.   The tour ended at our Hotel and we had an argument with the Hotel staff as it was arranged for us to drive past China Beach but the driver never did.   It seems quite natural for Vietnamese to cheat putting the onus as mis-communication - this was one of our many cheats during our stay in Vietnam.

Climbing 632 steps up Marble Mountain -

Danang - As it was still early, we decided to just walk around and found this  quaint shop ran by an old lady.

Stock up before our journey to Marble mountain

Reaching near Marble mountain, there were many shops selling any artifacts carved out of marble.  Upon reaching the entrance of Marble mountain, Trev decided to count the number of steps to reach the summit of Marble mountain - 632 steps in total.
