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 what they do here!  So I ưas sleeping last night and got woken by screamings from everybody in the bus (95% filled by Vietnamese Tourists).  I knew something ưas wwrong ìf they are alarmed.  I looked up and saw this huge truck coming straight at us.  I ducked and then we served quite quickly and I thought we would hit the ditch!! But nơ ...we are still alive and everything ưas fine! It ưas quite the experience tho!! The driver definitely calmed down his passing after that.  So we just arrrived this morning in Hoi An.  Sean didn't sleep too well on the bus á he is taller than me and ưas quite uncomfortable!! We will just rest this morning and probably walk around town this affternoon.  Also, this town is reknown for suits making.  So we are going to do that do this affternoon.
HOpe all iswell back home !
