BEACH DAY! We ventured
out to a coastal city about 3 hours away from HCMC called Vung Tau. We began
the day by climbing a seemingly infinitely long stair way up a mountain to a
Cristo Rendendor-esque statue of Jesus overlooking the coastline. The hike,
coupled with a long wait in the crowded staircase to reach the lookout on Jesus’
outstretched arms, made me sweat more than I have in my entire life. That being
said, the view was worth every drop.
After descending the mountain,
we took to the beach at a nearby resort. The water was warm but still
refreshing. As I swam out into the pacific I encountered many plastic bags and other
trash that I confused for jellyfish, and then I came across actual jellyfish
that were massive but luckily easy to avoid. The day overall was very relaxing
despite near everybody getting extremely sunburnt, and it was a nice conclusion
to a long week. I can’t believe the trip is already almost halfway over and I
look forward to making the most of my final days here in Vietnam.
