Visit to Vung Tau

We took the Hydrofoil down to Vung Tau where the Australians had a base during the Vietnam war.  It was kind of sleepy during the week as it's a weekend visiting place but we could walk for hours which we did.  Had a look at the beach, ate more food, relaxed...
Back Beach with in the far distance the Christ statue, apparently bigger than Brasils...don't really believe it?

Ferry Terminal on arrival 


Front beach, local swimming to the left, believe it may be in effluent & all :(?

Proud of my pack for an overnight trip!

Petrohouse Hotel - Phil checking out
Interesting watching the locals at night as it had a real community feel, Salsa dancing lessons in the plaza, group aerobics class by the ocean, musical production sounds filling the streets from behind walls.  Interesting and relaxing.
