Hoi An

We arrived into Hoi An using the day bus which didn't take too long. We had a quick walk and realised it wasn't that big but it was a lot quieter and had a more laid back feeling to it.

It's famous for custom made clothes but we didn't get anything made. Things were cheap in comparison to uk prices but still pricey for budget backpacker like ourselves! 

The town is set along a river which flooded about 10 days before we got there. Later that night we were in a bar and the owner was telling us that the water went over 2 metres! The town was suprisingly clean considering.

We went to the Market and got hassled a bit more than usual but its never a problem if you ignore them. You feel bad but it happens so often and if you show the slightest interest you have a job to shake them! There were echoes 'heeelo, would you like to buy something or 'dont pay for looky but buy if you likey'. I think as it's low season and because of the flooding they are pretty desperate for business, but we don't have the room for shopping. We had some nice food from the market though and bought a pineapple which the lady then spent 5 minutes preparing for us!

We also bought a couple of tshirts for 50,000 which is about 1.70gbp. I have to write gbp as the keyboards are foreign obviously!

We found a nice outdoor bar/restaurant and ate there quite a bit as it was cheap and there was lots of local food to choose from. 

Off to the beach for day 2. Weather wasn't great but still hot. The beach was nice again and the water was fun... Waves knocked emma over twice!

The last day we took a trip to My Son which has temple remains (some were destroyed in war and only bomb craters remain in places). It was good but Anchor Watt in Cambodia has similar larger temples and will be more impressive!

Waiting for our nightbus out, we milled around playing cards, again attracting interest from the locals - we were only playing umbrella! (pairs!) Advanced card playing, we know!
