We were originally supposed to spend 5 days there, but we couldn't get a train out when we wanted so we ended up staying there for 6 days. This suited us just fine though. We had an absolutely wonderful time relaxing on the beach and playing in the ocean waves.
On the third day of our trip while playing in the waves later in the day I got stung by a jellyfish. It got me from my hand down to a few inches above my elbow. Luckily it didn't hurt tooo bad, and after a day the pain subsided. It did end up flaring up again later in the trip, getting quite itchy, and I may end up having a scar (on my hand in particular), but it could have been a lot worse! I'm lucky it didn't sting my face.
Out in Da Nang we saw the Marble Mountains as well as Monkey Mountain. Marble Mountain is a beautiful mountain where they "mine" for marble (it's easy mining, seeing as how the mountains are made out of marble.) We took a tall and hot elevator to the top and slowly made our way down while enjoying the view and occasional cave. Monkey Mountain was also beautiful. On the top there sits a seven story high statue of a lady buddha, the Bodhisattva of Mercy.
