Danang and Hai Van pass

We arrived in Danang in the early hours of Friday morning after our one hour flight was delayed by three hours. Our hotel was nice and near the beach. We hired a motorbike to see the city as it's quite big. Its the third biggest city in Vietnam after Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Danang Beach

 
We biked around the city which was nice and quite. It has a big river running through it and a big beach on the other side of one of the Islands. There are lots of mountains surrounding the city which make it look quite pretty.

In the afternoon we drove the motorbike up one of the mountains to the 'Hai Van pass' This is a road that connects Danang to Hue through the mountains and has great views and scenery. They went along this road on top gear a few years ago. It was pretty amazing. We biked it for about an hour and stopped at the top of one of the hills which had an old war building on it.

Me on the Hai Van pass

Danang is nice place but a little quite. ILA has a school here so I could live here if I wanted. As its warm, in the evening there are lots of people playing sports on the beach and swimming in the sea which is very appealing. Tomorrow were off to Hoi An which is a nice little town about 35kmv south or here.
