Hoi An, Vietnam allanshawOur overnight train arrived in Da Nang very early at about 5.30am local time and we got into our bus that took us straight to Hoi An where our hotel is. This city is very famous for it's tailers and all their wonderful clothes making. Wow did we have motion sickness from the train today shell more so than me. When we checked in all the others on the tour went straight into their rooms and went to sleep (sooky bums oh so tired they say), Shell and I went and ate some cheap breakfast at the hot...
Hoi An, Vietnam amynshell09Its Shell again, I think my RSI has cleared a little so a can type a bit more. Today we got up early and ventured back into the Old Quarter to do our first fitting of the clothes. OMG ( oi choi oi- how you say it in Veitnamese) they have actually made all our clothes already!!!! The fitting went well, a few nicks and tucks here and there and they are almost complete. Amy and I decided on a couple more pairs of shorts and Amy couldn't take her eyes of this amazing dress they had on display. No...
Hoi An, Vietnam amynshell09Today oh wow - the hangover!!!!! Nurofen, water and bread rolls until I could muster the strength to get out of bed at 10.30 - we have a fitting at 11!!!!

But not all day, Amy h...
Hoi An, Vietnam amynshell09 Hello everyone and sorry for not updating!
Let's see...since the trip started, I have done many things! Here is a quick rundown:

-Had a one night homestay at a house off the Mekong River Delta (absolutely amazing!)
-Took an overnight train to Nha Trang and snorkled in the beautiful waters
-Bathed in the famous mudbaths of Nha Trang and so...

... in the house, Mark noticed quite a few of the locals out in our street, cleaning up all the mud and silt and debris that had been left post-flood. He went down and helped them with the clean-up, scraping mud down the slight incline, with hoses following. He tried not to think about what he might have been trudging through and actually enjoyed the process, as did the locals.
Before the road was cleaned, Mark had been pondering the “curse of Puma”. You might ...
... it actually doesn't hurt
that much (better than waxing) – although you do feel a slight
pinch. And yes, afterward my face does feel smoother. So I'm a
believer now – and I've seen ads for it in the States so I would do
it again.
After our “beauty treatments” we have another Hoi An delicacy “white
rose” dumplings with fried shrimp/frog. At this ...

... us who was trying mightily to escape the flowing water over the sidewalk. It actually decided to climb up my ankle. I could not believe it. First we watched a rat sniff a woman's foot at a restaurant in Hue, then Bill had a frog land on him (forgot to write about that), and now this. I still shudder to think of it.
The river continued to rise to the point where it was lapping at the steps of some of the shops and restaurants. We thought it would be a good idea ...
