HOMEWARD BOUND :-(

HOI AN – 3 Days

This town is just oozing charm and history, having largely escaped the destruction of the wars. Definitely a tourist town packed full of hotels, restaurants, bars, tailors and souvenir shops in the town centre, but, despite this, it's character really shines through. Easy to get around and great to explore their well respected crafts of high grade silk wear, ceramics, teas, lacquer wear and Chinese lanterns. There's a pretty river with 2 small islands to cross to and also a couple of simple beaches and a beautiful Japanese bridge. Still roasting hot so scooter required asap on arrival! Met some really friendly locals in this relaxed, small town atmosphere. Everything is so colourful; beautiful architecture, a mass of twisting food markets along the river, ornate temples dotted around and such an abundance of tasty eateries, we felt quite spoilt for choice.
