    The tide was too high so we did not cross the path. But even if the tide was lower, the path is very rocky.

    Interesting survivor of the French Colonisation era dating to 1898 and constructed as the summer residence of the French Governor, Paul Doumer who actually never got to live there as he was recalled to France. The carpark is located approx. 100m at the bottom of the hill, no room for a bus to turn. Its quite a beautiful building, white coloured and with various statues decorating the structure. Furnishings and fittings are sympathetic to the era and compliment the design of the various rooms. Some ancient cannons are mounted in the grounds, attractive gardens and great views.

    First time that we have visited a temple that pays homage to a whale. According to legend, a whale carcass washed up on the beach over v100 years ago and so big that the fishermen had to wait until the flesh decomposed before being able to bring the bones ashore and display them. The bones were regarded as a symbol of protection of the coast.

    One of my favorite places in VT. The drive up the mountain offers great views. Dont forget to visit the ammunition bunker a little further up the road. Motorcycle only as the road narrows to a path.

    Vung Tau Martyr's Memorial it is located in a big roundabout across the Lotte Mark shopping mall. There's not much to see but it offers the possibility to escape from the frantic traffic and seat and relax

    I have previously reviewed the Vo Thi Sau Monument, a shrine dedicated to a 16-year-old Vietnamese girl who joined the Viet Minh seeking liberation of her country from the French colonial oppressors.

    She went into a cafe frequented by French officers and rolled a grenade under their table. Unfortunately she was caught and imprisoned.

    She was then sentenced to death and executed by firing squad, even though under French law she was a minor, and should not have been executed.

    This visit was particularly poignant as I had some of my granddaughters with me, one of whom is 16 years old, the same age as Vo Thi Sau when she was criminally executed by the French.

    I think it is nice place for photo-shooting. No service around, only some small street vendors. However the view is great!

    The Martyrs' Memorial, a tribute to the Viet Cong of Baria-Phuoc Tuy Province killed in actions against the Australians, ironically sits where the headquarters of the 1st Australian Logistic Support Unit once stood.

    It comprises a high column set in a marble plaza on top of a hill overlooking most of Vung Tau.

    On the column is inscribed the equivalent of "Lest We Forget" and commemorates nearly 3,000 local VC killed during the war.
