Day 20 The Marble Mountain

24/03/13
Probably had the nicest breakfast so far, muesli with yoghurt and fresh fruit, a good way to start the day! Neither Rob or George had anything, they felt pretty rough, possibly something they ate last night, they felt fine just a short while later though which was good. We hired 2 bikes, George rode pillion on mine. It was only 20km to the Marble Mountain so not too uncomfortable for George. The mountain itself was little more than a rock. We climbed up a couple hundred steps, stopping occasionally at temples, till we were nearly at the top where we went into a cave. The cave had a small outlet at the back which we climbed out of onto the top where the views were average. We rode back with Rob haring off in front, leaving me to cautiously  weave my way through the traffic way behind. We made our last sojourn to cafe 43 then headed to the beach, one last time. At 17.45 we got on another overnight bus, this time to go down the coast to Nha Trang, the diving hotspot of Vietnam.
