Hoi- An is about 12 hours north of Nha Trang…We arrived here by bus at 5am and checked into the nearest cheapo guest house! Hoi-An is a great place, its locals are so friendly and perhaps one of the reasons to stop by here for a few days is to get a taylor made suit! Yes you guessed it we both go measured up and got some very nice suits made, the price was amazing at about 20 English squid! Not bad huh?! I have packaged mine up and sent it back to Mumsy so hopefully it arrives back to England in the next few weeks/months/ or even years!
The locals are lovely, always have a smile for you and are always very helpful! Jo and I couldn’t get over how they always munch on water melon seeds…We even tried some on the beach but were not really our thing!
Down at the beach you get 5 star treatment, Jo got a pedicure and another local tried to remove the 2 day old hair from my legs with string! It did work but I didn’t want to sit still that long! We both brought some braclets from he sellers….It amazed us how much the locals cover up.They wear 2 shirts, jeans, sometimes gloves, big hats in mega roasting temperatures…We wear as little as poss! They say they don’t want their skin to tan and they want it to remain white…
Also managed to take a ride to the beach and back on a motorbike..the guy driving it was pretty crazy but thankfully he got us there safely!
Off to Hanoi tonight by sleeper train…
