Today was our last full day in Da Nang before we head off to the next part of the holiday. We spent the morning by the pool, as usual, adding to my tan. By early afternoon it had started clouding over, the first time that I had seen clouds in the time I've been abroad.

Later in the afternoon we went to Marble Mountain, a natural tourist attraction in Vietnam. It is a series of 5 small mountains close together jutting out of an otherwise completely flat Vietnamese landscape. Despite the overcast day, the view was still quite impressive from the lookout points on the mountain.
We learned that the main cave in the mountain had been used as a military hospital for the Vietnamese during their war of independence. Our tour guide, despite being a very nice and friendly person, was however very full on with his views on Buddhism and materialism. It seemed as though most of time we were getting a philosophy lesson.

Once back at the hotel I went to the gym and then we all had dinner in the bar and then went back to the rooms. The wind outside is amazing, reminiscent of England, its that bad.
I'm now just sitting in bed keeping track of the football scores, its currently half time between Charlton vs Leeds and it's 0-0. I'm not going to bed till full time, hopefully it'll be a Charlton win.
