    The price of admission is about 60K VND per person (around $2.50), the complex is fairly small. Its about 1 hour from Da Nang. Its one of those areas that you feel like since you are there you should go visit, but you regret afterwards.

    The lanterns village

    After a bumpy crazy bus ride from Hué we were quite tired when we got to the picturesque city of Hoi An. Arriving there we were approached by a dozen hotel agents calling us to go to their shuttle bus see for free to see their hotel. After checking some hotels on the map we decided to go to one that was near the old city center. Worst case scenario …

    Beautiful Vietnam

    Today I awoke and, thank goodness, I am feeling better and can start to enjoy Vietnam!

    At the moment we are staying in a really pretty, ancient village by the river called Hoi An. In the 16th and 17th centuries Hoi An was the international trading centre in Vietnam; Japanese, Chinese, Dutch and Indian traders set up …

    Christmas in Hoi An

    Hoi An, a lovely old town thankfully untouched by the war, with beautiful old streets and peaceful cafes to sit and watch the world go by. This was how John remembered Hoi An and enthused about it throughout the planning stages of the trip. Thus far, Vietnam hadn't quite Hoi An, a lovely old town thankfully untouched by the war, with beautiful old …

    My Son & Boat Cruise

    8 photos

    Today we had a tour booked over to My Son (pronounced Mee Son and according to our guide meaning beautiful mountain), which are a series of ruined Hindu temples built by the Cham people who occupied the area from about the 4th century (don't quote me however) but the brickwork temples are from a much latter period.

    Any way we were the …

    My Son


    We set off at 8am to get to the My Son ruins about an hour away. All hopes of getting a sneaky extra hour of sleep were dashed as soon as the tour guide got up to introduce himself and did not stop talking the whole way. I didn't mind this after a while as it became apparent that this man was hilarious and was a star in the …

    Betty's better, shopping, too

    Yesterday, almost as soon as we arrived here, our guide, Tiger, took us to an Australia/France/VN trained doctor who speaks fluent English. He was very thorough in his checkup of Betty's back and hip and did a sonogram that showed no hip fracture or any organ damage, just very severe contusions. He changed her meds to stronger ones than the doc in …

    We got an early start and headed out to a tour of "my son", the cham ruins near hoi an. It was beautiful surrounded by mountains and the mist and the guide told us about it all before letting us explore. We got a boat back to hoi an and had lunch on the boat which was nice and very picturesque. Its so cheap to do the daytrips here, something I dont …

    Hội An Ancient Town & Mỹ Sơn Ruin

    3 February 2005 (Thursday)
    It was not entirely a comfortable journey on the long-distance train from Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang. The "soft" seat could not ease the pain on our butts after long hours of sitting and sleeping up straight. The coldness in the air-conditioned compartment during the night kept waking me up and the small blanket (or …

    Suit up!

    After a 'race against time' visit to the post office in Hue, we got our sleeper bus down to Hoi An, which is where we are now staying. The whole of the old town is a UNESCO Heritage site, and you know how we love a UNESCO site!

    We were able to meet up with our friends Coco and Kate who had travelled on ahead from Hanoi, and spent the day …
