Easy day by the pool today. Not sunny but warm and mostly dry. It is nice to have sometime just relaxing and to be honest recover from the night before's fresh beers and the 12 previous days of travel.
Looking forward to tonight out in the old town again, Dive Bar is becoming a favourite of ours.
Today was a big day for the tannoy system. Tannoys seem very popular here. There's the reading out of the news (we think) sometimes very early in the morning. Then there's the piped music. You would expect it in say a hotel lift but the headboard in the hotel in Hue had a volume control in case you preferred the endless piano sonatas on the quiet side. Here in Hoi An the piped music is in the streets as you wander around. The piano sonatas are better than the public performances. We haven't taken to the Vietnamese opera or songs about the glorious leader or war martyrs. You may wonder how we know what the songs are about but on the buses and trains we have scrolling videos to accompany the delightful music. Pretty girls in traditional costumes by graves with AK47s are a common theme.
