Hoi An

This time we caught a flight - the joys of being on a comfort tour. Beware of this town. It is lovely to wonder around the old steets and by the river. It is also lovely if you like holy relic sites. It is not lovely if you don't like to shop.
This is the town of clothes and the beat place to go if you want fitted clothing made specially for you, or footwhere. Of course I'm all up for trying out new experiences so I forced myself to have several new dresses made and a skirt and a pair of shorts and a few tops...
We arrived here on a rainy day. It is not flood season just yet but while we were having lunch we watched to water rise up the back steps of the restaurant. The river banks overflowed and you had to doge you way around or through at some points. Some cafes had to resort to using boats to escort customers to their premises.
This was a lovely break from the heat though and the river was lit with lanterns at night and very picturesque. We met a couple of south african lads, played pool very badly and then sat on a wall and watched the weird animals floating by.
If you ever visit Nha Trang just beware of how much you want to buy and pay because they are very good at convincing you to get just that one more item!
