Woke up and went for an early morning run before packing up to head back south to DaNang. I ran by some unique sites as well as through the market…so many different things , I had to stop for a few photos!
We were really bummed that it was such a foggy morning as we had hired a driver to drive us over the Hai Van Pass for some amazing coastal views from the top of the mountain. Instead we went the faster and less exciting way through the tunnel. We did stop at Lang Co Beach (which wasn’t great because of the weather) and drove through a fishing village. Thankfully the sky was clear back in DaNang for the rest of our day.
Driving over the Dragon Bridge into DaNang
We got to our hotel to check in and the Suvedis were there on scooters!
While Brian and I debated weather or not we should rent scooters too, we made plans to go to a nice French restaurant for lunch. Kyla got to go for a ride with Aunt Beth there while we grabbed a taxi.
We all got to have turns trying out the scooter and decided we should hire one too!
We headed back to our hotel to get a scooter and prepare for our next adventure.
Here’s me working on my negotation skills to get us all the helmets and 1 scooter for the right price.
We loaded up with some fruit and then we all headed to Marble Mountains.
Arriving at Marble Mountains-A cluster of five hills (named after the elements metal, wood, water, fire and earth), made from limestone and marble. It’s a well-known pilgrimage site with peaks, caves, tunnels and temples all just waiting to be discovered. All of the mountains have cave entrances and numerous tunnels.

Entering our first cave: Van Thong Cave
In pictures, this does not look nearly as chalenging to climb as it was…the kids climbed up sans Hallie and we had to go after them!

Heading back-the scooters were SO MUCH FUN!!! Brian and I kept fighting for her would drive!
Fun at an In
We had some time to kill before the dragon bridge would breathe fire and happened upon this area full of motorized little cars. It was $1 for them to ride as long as they wanted. They had a blast!
Hallie was exhausted, so unfortunately she missed out on the fun, but she clearly needed the sleep!
Ready to watch the dragon breathe fire!
What a fun day!!
