Thien Trung Hotel Hoi An

I took the sleeper bus to Hoi An which was interesting. The bus has two levels of beds top and bottom. All the westerner travelers were on top and the locals were on the bottom. The beds are small and there's really no room for your bag. Luckily I have a place that I created for mine but other people who are over 6 foot had serious problems.

I found a hotel for $14 a night with internet (not wifi) and a swimming pool. It gets so hot here by mid day all you want do to do sit and relax ...

Ya hemos llegado a Hoi An, yo creo que es el pueblo mas bonito donde hemos estado. Nos fuimos directamente a Thien Trung, porque la parejita de holandeses nos estaba esperando y nos habia dicho por mail que el guesthouse estaba bien y con piscina... La verdad es que nos hemos pasado 8 dias en Hoi An, yo no me queria ir de alli, la playa era perfecta, el mar limpio y heladito, ese que despues de lograrlo, te deja rehabilitado... Uy! Que pena que no tengamos ninguna foto, pero en fin... Despues...

Ok, so we got on the bus last night and were very disapointed that they didnt have extra room on the sleeper bus for us!! Oh well, you get what you pay for! So the bus ride ưas as per usual, stops every 4 hours or so á there is no toilet on board. Also, a little description of the reckless driving here in Vietnam. People pass each other all the time! in the curve, uphill, in the curve AND uphill, when an 18 wheeler is only 20 m away coming in the opposite direction...etc. This is just wh...

Hey Hey! So after writing the last blog, we went walking around town to look at tailor's boutique. There are about 200 tailors in town and they make EVERYTHING, from shoes to bathing suits passing by winter jackets, suits, underwear...etc. We ended up taking one of the first tailor that we saw because we don't really know anything about clothes. So we got inside and started looking at catalogues. They are normal clothes catalogue that you would receive at home and then you point out what you ...

Ok, so we made it to Hoi An after 24 hours of sleeping on buses, waiting around, and then more bus action. But Hoi An is a very nice little town which specializes in tailoring and shoe making. We rented bicylces the first day and cruised around looking for good food which we found near the river... wonderful Vietnamese treats, our favorite where the fresh marinated pork spring rolls and the passion/strawberry/lime sorbet. Yummy. Kelly had some clothes made as well as a few pair of shoes and t...

Hotelli nimi laks vist valesti - aga sindrid reception'ist kustutasid tuled ara ja tahavad, et ma netipunktist jalga laseksin. Et siis tana ryndasime ratsepaarisid ja voitlesime ostuhimuga. Eks naeb, mis homseks sellest valja tulnud on. Igal juhul on selge, et kohalike arusaamise jaoks oleme me liiga suured kehamahult. Kuigi nad arvasid, et on ka suuremaid siin nahtud.... Aga kasvamise ruumi nad riietele kyll jatta ei taha...

Such a chilled out area, the streets, architecture and people make this one of the must-visit-again locations in Vietnam. I've walked around the town centre about 10 times during my stay and it never gets boring. Walking at night is even more fantastic, the soft yellow lights lit the streets and buildings. But more importantly, th...

We arrived in Hoi An at 7am after another all night sleeper bus.This bus wasn't as nice as the first one but we made do. We got off the bus and turned around and found our next lodgings. This hotel is very nice with swimming pool, intricate carvings everywhere nice room and close to everything. $4USD each. Thats like 6 aussie dollars folks... so cheap. Hoi An is amazingly beautiful. The place has been Unesco heritage listed and it feels like stepping back in time. There is a lot of french and...

Es war dann doch fast 22Uhr als uns** Bus endlich eintraf und auch anhielt (nachdem etwa 100 Busse durchg**auscht waren und auch einige LKW's ihre Dienste als Taxis anboten.
