Hello from Hoi An, Vietnam! It may only be a week since I last got a chance to write, but it feels like so long ago that I am not sure where I should start... My last blog was from Sihanoukville, Cambodia. After writing my blog, we spent the evening on the beach at one of the many bars that line the coast, and only had one too many cocktails which they literally serve in buckets!
