Today was a sunny day so after a trip to Vietnamese airlines to buy a ticket from Hue to Hanoi, and the train station to buy a ticket from Danang to Hue, we decided to go to the beach. This area (China Beach) is a very strange place. It’s like somebody started developing it and never finished. There is a beautiful 4-lane divided road that goes straight to the beach, the beach promenade is gorgeous – paved with pretty stones, with green grass lawns, palm trees, etc. The beach is spectacular --- white, clean sand, mountains on each side, warm clear South China sea … and that’s it. No people, no beach services other than a few dilapidated umbrellas rented by a bunch of young boys. We were the only people on the beach as far as the eye can see (for miles). After a few relaxing hours under a beach umbrella, we went to lunch to one of the fish restaurants. Again --- a beautiful place, ocean view and we were the only ones there. China Beach is the opposite of Hoi An, for sure.
Lying on the beach, we saw this amazing thing in the sky: the sun encircled by a rainbow. It was astonishing. We googled it when we got back to the hotel. It’s called a 22 degree halo.

I couldn't understand what the ring was...ah, but after I read your post, I could see that it was your beach umbrella, and behind it was the sun.
Do you read your comments?
