Hoi An

After our Scottish friends left, Joey and I hung out with our Swiss couple friends. Sacha and Sinette were staying at a really nice resort on the beach about 4km out of town. Joey and I decided it would be a good idea to rent bikes for 10,000 VND (less than 60cents) for the day. It felt so amazing to have the wind in our faces and the freedom to go where ever we wanted to. The traffic in Hoi An was quite tame compared to all the other places we had been, so we felt confident with staying alive and unhurt! The beach was an oasis. Beautiful palm trees, and turquoise waters. Bikes, beaches, and beers, what else could you possibly need?

We arrived at the resort that our friends were staying at and then hit the waves. Joey and I tumbled around in the waves. Splashing, jumping, running, leaping, and diving through the waves. Just like kids, not a care in the world. It was such a good feeling to experience again. Traveling although very fun, can also be stressful. You have to deal with a lot of crap. This is the kind of thing that makes our trip worth it.

We made our way back to Hoi An after a nice lunch on the beach with Sacha and Sinette. As we rode into town the sun was setting in the horizon. That night I got a shirt made from a tailor. It's a beautiful silk shirt that is flowy, light and elegant. Joey was tempted with the idea of a suit, but decided against it. You can purchase a beautifully tailored suit (complete with tie, shirt, the whole kit and caboodle) for less than $60USD.

Although we were loving our time in Hoi An, we wanted to keep moving. Mui Ne was our next destination.
