Travel experiences overland from London to Australia - and then some

China Beach and Danang
Sunday 4 July: Ignoring a beach strip of large hotel developments I arrive at Hoe's Place, a small homely guesthouse, and meet up with Liza and Eric for a celebratory BBQ lunch - yes it's the 4th of July when the King granted America independence from Britain (not sure the American rebels see it quite like this). Following a lazy day on the beach we climb to the temples and pagodas of Marble Mountain passing some wonderful sculpture studios en-route - the laughing Buddhas are a real joy. Monday 5: Liza and Eric head for Hoi An but I stay to see the Museum of Cham Sculpture in Danang. The rock carvings are good but the Bodhisattva Tara bronze is exquisite. I too get the bright yellow local bus to Hoi An. China Beach and Danang photos.
