We left Hue at 8 ish and after a spectacular 4 hour drive via the Ocean Cloud Pass, Danang and China beach we arrived in Hoi An to brilliant sunshine. The An Phu hotel was amazing with a pool and an brand new pool table. After lunch some of us went to Yaly ( a tailor) where I bought a made to measure 100% cotton shirt for only $17! After more pool (both swimming and playing) we headed out to eat where I had the nicest tomato soup complimented by a Jack Daniels and coke!!
I got up at 5 to see the local fish market, the variety of the fish and the amount of people up at that hour was remarkable and truly worth the early start, especially as I went back to bed! After getting up for a second time and after breakfast I returned to Yalys to alter my tailored shirt before cycling about 5 Km to An Bang beach, Jon and I cycled so fast we beat S ophie who was on a motor bike (albeit with a 5 minute headstart)! The beach was idyllic; it was empty, warm and the waves were big enough to splash around in. After 4 hours and a little sunburnt we cycled back to the hotel. For supper we went to the Cargo Club to celebrate Debbies birthday, the passion fruit cake was delicious. Jon , Marie, Lisa and I then played pool before returning to the hotel!
