Danang, Vietnam

After a day at sea to recuperate from Hong Kong Nancy and I set off on an adventure to Cambodia to see the temples of Angkor Wat. After a half day tour of Danang we ate at the famous China Beach (see me with the local fishing boats). This was a popular R&R place for soldiers on the front lines in the Vietnam War (or as they call it the American War). It is a beautiful beach and is just in the shadows of an interesting little mount of rocks called "Marble Mountain" where it turns out that many of the Viet Cong holed up in the caves of that mountain.
The airport in Danang was once the busiest airport in the world during the war and still has some of the hangers that were built for the helicopters in use today as part of the airport operations.
We flew out of there to Seim Riep Cambodia.Read more
