Day Two : Perfume Pagoda Trip
6am our breakfast have served at our room. Why we didn't ready by 6am? Because the receptionist at the hotel told us that we don't have to get ready as the lady from sinh cafe told because the van never arrived before 6:30am.
6:35am. the van stoped in front of our hotel. They were four Chineses peoples there already. We're not the last one in this van they still have to pick the other people. Our group was 12 persons.
Perfume pagoda was in front of me about 9am. Perfume Pagoda is located on the limestone rocks of Huong Son Mountain in beautiful and mystical surroundings.
Four of us sat in the same boat, normally an iron boat can carry 3-5 peoples. I noticed that all woman paddle a boat and when I asked paddler why not any man do this job because I felt it is too hard for woman to paddle for almost 2 hours round trip but she seems not understood what I have said to her. Anyone know this reason?
To sit almost 60 minutes on small boat if you are tall or not used to with sitting like this might get pain and easy to get tired. When we're waiting to get on boat and the Vietnames girl she came to talk to us. She thought that we're Vietnamese and when we asked her to guess and she said Cambodian :) we're just smile. She was a photograper and took a another boat to tried to get a customer.. She followed us even we when we try to tell her that we have 4 cameras here already and told her to try with another people who came together with their lover and she might get luck. I am not sure if how much she can earn money from this job. Just hope they might have some people who please to get her this job. It not bad to get a picture with the wonderful background.
When we got on the land again and walked up to the mountain. We had small trekking up to the mountain (it big for me though) We pased several temples and finally got out at Thien Chu temple. Thien chu is stunning. About 4 kms and we could get to the Perfume Pagoda (Could't believe I can done this) Perfume Pagoda is a cave and a little bit dark. I couldntt concentrate to listen to our guide telling about the history much. My legs was shaking from long treking or his English accent was difficult for me to understand.
After Perfume Pagoda and our guide asked if anyone wanted to walk back of course I won't.. We took sky car back and went straight to the restaurant for lunch.
After lunch we had time to walk around and our group walked up little more again (different way from before) to the temple. One of my friend very interested in inside the temple, wall, painting but I prefer to take a picture around.
On the way back from Perfume Pagoda and it was about 4pm. We took the same boat back. The river looked more beautiful as it was late noon. The sun went up to another side and just little bit higher from the mountain. The light from the sun touch the water in the river made it look fantastic. I was so impressed with this trip and I could say once you have time to visit Vietnam and Perfume Pagoda is the place you shouldn't missed to visit.
We got back to the hotel around 7:30pm..We just reconized that tomorrow we have to leave to Halong Bay at the early morning and will stay there for one night so we have to book another room when we come back.. We like this hotel and decided to stay here for all this trip.
We had Italain food for dinner.. Yummy!
