Memorable Tour
This was indeed a memorable tour, but exhausting for senior citizens. The visit to Champa Temples, the Whale temple, the fishermen village was a good introduction to the past and present of this region. The visit to Ta cu Mountain was very nice but exhausting to seniors. The spiritual aspect of seeing the Sleeping Buddha and other Buddha statues, the Cable car ride and the Beautiful views from atop the mountain was all exciting. But climbing up and down all those steps was hard on the knees, yet the trip was worth it. A quick stop over at a Dragon fruit farm, gave us an idea about the abundantly grown fruit here. Our guide Shanty made every thing possible, he literally guided us thru helped us while climbing. Thanks to him we came to know if few things if this region.
