Hoi An,
Vietnam
Monday, July 21, 2008
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 then we moto-ed to the beach for some fun sunburn time. All in all we spent a lot of money here, but it was a good time and found that the custom clothes experience is quite a rush.
P.S. While the Thien Trung Hotel was nice and relatively affordable (only $15 night) we always felt like the staff was working against us and cannot recommend staying there.
