We had a great day with our guide Castle! His English is excellent, he knows an incredible amount to tell and even introduced us to the Vietnamese language. Our first stop was a religious community center where we were warmly welcomed by the locals - even our 6-year-old daughter liked it there very much. The second stop was a shrine with whale bones - also very exciting. A highlight was the subsequent meal! We were the only Europeans in the crowded restaurant and felt like we were really in the middle of everyday Vietnamese life. And it tasted so delicious!! Castle has adapted the further stops to our needs - we wanted to spend more time on the beach and in the cafe than climbing up to the statue of Jesus. Since there was a driver of our own with us, getting out and in was always very easy, the driver just let us out and only then looked for a parking space. We were also very enthusiastic about the museum of Vung Tau, which is largely dedicated to the Vietnam War. All in all a great day, we would repeat anytime!
