Magical Hoi An

Set along the banks of the Hoi an river the ancient town of narrow cobblestone lanes(devoid of cars or motorbikes!!-yahoo) and decrepid chinese style terrace houses was one of the main trading ports with China.The Japenese covered bridge which is 280 yrs old joins one side of the town with the other.There are tonnes of yummy restaurants and bars,tailors ,silk shops and a whole lane of shoe shops.This town floods annually during the monsoon with 1.8 m of water coming into the houses. Most are ...

Mountain to Coast

The return leg from Sapa on the night train was hard, I didn't sleep much and I think I was still unwell. We went back to the Gecko hotel to leave our bags and get showered, then we spent the morning wandering the shops.

Our taxi driver to the airport tried to break the land speed record which was a bit unnerving, but we got there OK (and ahead of schedule!). And an hour later we arrive in Danang. I find days like these really strange. The night before I'd got on a train in the mountai...

Learning to Live with Heat

Hi All round Sorry for the lack of news - have had trouble getting systems here to load travelpod. ANYWAY - all going well - had a lovely 'not quite day' on the boat in Ha Long Bay - thousands of limestone islands that rise straight from the sea - mountain tops really rising above flooded valleys. Good accommodation on the boat - en suite and a/c - small cabins but adequate. Had perfect sunset - lovely meals exquistely presented as all things seem to be in Vietnam. We were taken through a hug...

brrrrrrruummmmm

So we decided to go for it with the motorbikes and got picked up from our hotel by Tai and his friend at 8am to take us to Hoi An.
We stopped off at a fishing port and a waterfall (Elephant Springs) for a paddle. Then we arrived at Hai Van Pass. Going up to the top the roads were quite quiet. Most of the traffic goes through the tunnel so only a few motorbikes and the odd bus go this way. The view was amazing, but although the rain had held off it still was quite foggy so not as good as i...

Clothes and shoes galore!

... to the hotel. These arrangements consisted of a 3 men, a motorbike and a large wooden trailer attached to the motorbike!<br><br>The rest of the afternoon was left for us to explore, rest and check into our hotel. Simon and I decided to check out what Hoi An had to offer. I was a little side tracked however by the many shoe shops along the way. I decided a pair of sandals was a good idea, however the ones I liked didn't fit. I was about to move ...

Hoi An - weeks 32-34 - 11 October - 1 November

... others (how are you, Sue and Paula?), and now that our departure date is rapidly approaching, we have also started getting things made. It has been great for Cath and Matt, who were able to get the bridesmaids&#8217; dresses and the boys&#8217; suits made, as well as a lot of other stuff. They have also had their shoes made, and have been absolutely delighted with everything. Although it was funny on their last night in Hoi An. We were in town and walking to the taxis, when we dropped ...

The Catalogue

... food here was AMAZING! The Hoi AN specialties of fried wontons and country pancakes were our absolute favourites, so tasty and flavoursome we couldn't stop going back for more. We also grew rather fond of the lady with the cart who sold a variety of things, our favourite being meat in bread. Almost like a pasty but with ho9memade bread instead of pastry ...

Tailor central

... one tailors catalogue of Next clothing from their 2003 season I made my excuses and headed back to the pool for a little bit of quiet time. I was rather proud of the restraint I was showing to be honest. Miriam and Nathan returned a considerable time later with their wallets notably lighter. We went out to dinner once it had become pleasant enough to brave the outside world without the fear of being melted down into a puddle of sweat and found a lovely little restaurant where I treated ...

Eat, Shop, Haggle, Eat

... They&#8217;ve got everything. <br><br>Every other shop is a tailor shop. They make everything. It&#8217;s all on display - skirts, dresses, suits, pants, winter jackets all in the finest fabric. Just pick one from those on display, choose from their catalogue or bring in your own picture and they'll have it copied for you in a day or so. However, the work is outsourced so quality might be questionable. Though if you like silk I can't imagine you ...
