Wow!   Just when you thought that you had seen a lot of Vietnam, you then discover Da Nang!   This city by the coast is simply spectacular and truly a joy for the adventurous type.   Da Nang is a coastal city of 1.2 million people and has endless places to discover.   You truly feel as if you are in Hawaii while being in Da Nang with the incredible tropical vegatation and sweeping mountains that surround it.   A great morning or whole day hike is on Son Training Mountain where you can see the Red-shanked Duocs(type of monkey) in the wild.   During our morning hike, we were lucky enough to see eight of them and they can certainly make some noise especially against the jungle like backdrop of the mountain.  Make sure to stay on the gravel path going up the mountain(just a suggestion).

We later hopped on the back of a scooter and rode down to the hotel which was by the sea.  There was a typhoon in the Philippines at the time thus creating the big equals and massive waves for Da Nang.  Later in the evening one can explore the absolutely endless seafood places along the shore.
