Good day, everyone! How are you all doing today? Another day has passed. Today, at a study session with others, I will continue to share with everyone. Isn't there a more intriguing topic than hanging out if you're wondering how much I write about it? Please empathise with me because my dream is most likely only lingering and slowing down my development.

This is a camping trip I planned for my aunt as a birthday present. Her birthday was two days earlier with family, and we celebrated our post-birthday anniversary with friends and a job well done on a Saturday. Her favorite sport is surfing because she loves the sea.

To discuss precise arrangements, I contacted a small fishing boat of fisherman. We elected to move by boat to a little sandy beach in the east of the Son Tra peninsula after unification.
Because it is feasible to drive and walk down the route to the very steep and perilous coast from the road. And, while the only four people traveling with me are guys, I want to bring a full set of tables and chairs, as well as camping tents for a comfortable experience. Because the coast is mostly rocky, that sandy beach is fairly small, and the area is very abandoned with very few people knowing about it.

I learned about it on a solo trek a few months back when I became disoriented in the woods owing to subjectivity after the sun set too quickly and I lost track of the trail due to a lack of light. Only people who fish and travel to the forest know about the road since it is small, concealed, and steep. My buddies and I planned our outfits and awaited the date. Because the boat owner only provided transportation and drinking water, as well as life jackets and diving goggles, I was responsible for the food, tents, tables, and chairs. He was waiting for us at Man Thai beach that day.

At 3 p.m., we packed our belongings into a little basket and set out for the boat, which was parked a long distance away. We were ecstatic to be able to escape the oppressive atmosphere of the packed metropolis while on the moving train. We can relax and enjoy our journey by smelling the sea, smelling the salt, and feeling the crashing waves. This is the first time I've seen Son Tra mountain from the sea's perspective. The panoramic vista has changed my mind about this city's green lung.

The pleasant weather allows us to take in all of the splendour that the coastal city has to offer. I want to jump right in since the ocean is so blue (hopefully no sharks). The train was slow, and we arrived to the beach after about 40 minutes (locals call it Bai U). It's not far from Mui Nghe(16.118689201888085, 108.33816212444562). When the boat came to a halt 30 meters from the shore and began loading items into a tiny basket to be moved onshore, one of my friends, @trangbaby, couldn't take it any longer and jumped into the water to swim. The explanation is simple: the water is crystal clear, allowing you to see both the bottom and the coral; she truly understands how to appreciate life.

The three of us, as well as the boat's owner, walked to land in a basket. The sea transports a lot of waste stranded on the rocks, despite the fact that this area is deserted and uninhabited. We located a somewhat clean location, picked up the plastic bottles and styrofoam scattered about, and set up the furnishings. Then everyone changed fast and went swimming or fishing, while I made dinner. After that, I went swimming and diving to see the coral before it got dark, and then I finished the last of the dishes. Fortunately, the sand we tented on faced east, with its back to the mountain, so it was really cool, and the sand had cooled significantly because the sun had vanished below the mountain's peak.

We shared the cooking, arranged the table for the food, and turned on the lights after showering and dressing. We joyfully eat basic foods that can be prepared with a small amount of beer or wine. The chilly air, combined with the warmth of the fire, fills us with joy. When we have had the opportunity to go together for a long time, we tell each other happy stories over each glass of wine.

We invited the boat owner and his companion, who was fishing for squid offshore, to join us for a great meal. They returned to the shore after approximately 30 minutes and claimed that the sea was a little rough today, so they only got one squid and went early. Hok joined us in the celebration by bringing beer ashore. The inhabitants of the sea are straightforward, naïve, and optimistic. They shared us fascinating anecdotes about their experiences working at sea. My companions and I were equally amused by their wit.

We had a great time and only left when everyone was inebriated, which was around 1 a.m. They returned to the sleeping boat, while my three companions proceeded to two separate sleeping tents. I prefer to sleep outside, so I lie down on the smooth sand and cover myself with a light blanket. While resting in an undetectable tent, don't forget to glance up at the starry sky and enjoy the sea breeze caressing your skin before going to sleep.

I set an alarm for 5:30 a.m. and awoke to wake everyone up and tidy up the stuff and rubbish so that we could board the boat to head to Mui Nghe to see the sunrise. On the Son Tra peninsula, Da Nang's easternmost point, this is the most magnificent dawn location. We reloaded the boat and drove another 15 minutes to our destination. My pals were extremely inebriated the night before, so they napped and cleaned for a long time, missing the sunrise below the horizon.

But it's not all bad because the rock here is quite wild and oddly beautiful; in fact, thanks to its well-preserved and diversified marine life, this is possibly the most gorgeous coral reef in Da Nang alone. Because the waves are pretty strong and the rocky coast is sharp, I always jump off the boat around 40 meters from the shore and swim while watching the coral below.

With the clean water, it feels great, and @trangbaby swims afterward, perhaps because she enjoys swimming. One stayed aboard the fishing boat, while the other climbed into the basket. Due to the erosion of waves, there is a pool of water that seems like a natural lake and is exceedingly attractive because there are no waves.

We returned to the ship to return after enjoying the wild and swimming for a long time viewing the coral (sadly, I don't have a gopro to shoot stunning underwater shots).

Everyone fell asleep to the sound of the train engine groaning on the way back because they were tired from playing and doing so many things. I stayed awake to appreciate the splendor of the morning and afternoon light. I arrived at the beach around 10:30 a.m. and rode my motorcycle home.
