We got to Mt Thuy in the Marble Mountains outside Da Nang early because we're rise early, do more kind of people.

We clearly forgot we were in Asia and sauntered around the site like we would have the place all to ourselves but were brought back to reality at around 10:00 am when the buses starting arriving.

The serene Buddhist sanctuary rapidly transformed in to a hive of bustling tourists.

But that first hour before everyone else got there absolutely reinforces that early bird cliché.
