Today we spent the day in Vung Tau, a type of beach town. We started off at 8:00 in the morning with an hour and a half boat ride from Ho Chi Minh City to Vung Tau. The boat was called a hydrofoil and it was a really interested ride because we got to see the shoreline all the way to Vung Tau. When we got to the town we stopped at a very cute coffee place to relax and have drinks before making our way to our site seeing stops. We stopped at a Pagoda where locals go to pray. The most interesting stop was to a huge statue of Jesus. We had to hike all the way up this insanely large steep mountain to get to the statue. I do not think I have sweated that much in my entire life. When we finally made it up to the statue the view was amazing. After climbing back down all of the steps we went to lunch at a local restaurant. The food was very good with multiple courses like the other dinners we had before.
When we finally made it to the beach we all headed straight for the water. It was warmer than bath water but still very refreshing. Tinh and An came up with a bunch of games for us to play on the beach...they made us look a bit weird but were still fun. We had a banana relay race, a contest to see which team could fit all of it's members on a small piece of paper and a race to fill up containers to get a toy from the bottom. After all of the games each team got a prize and we left the beach to head back to the boat. All in all it was very hot, fun day at Vung Tau!
