FARTHER SOUTH AGAIN

On Monday we left Hue and drove to Hoi An with a drive through Da Nang.  We have been to Da Bang before but this time we were shocked…it is completely different. Many high end hotels have been built on China Beach where the Americans landed during the war. So busy and so top of the line. 

Hoi An, on the other hand, was still Hoi An. No longer the quaint little city we stayed at before, but still with that “Hoi An Charm”!  The hotel we are staying at is right at the Old Quarter so everything we want to see is within easy walking distance. 

We had stopped along the way for a traditional lunch at an oyster farm… Fred warned me but I didn’t listen and as a result I was sick for the rest of the day. Darn allergies. Fred and Mo went out for the rest of the afternoon while I enjoyed my time in the hotel room!!

On Tuesday we visited a silk worm/silk factory…so interesting. 

The clothes and hand made pictures were incredible and not that expensive. Had we been travelling with our usual travelling partners I’m sure we would have lost Jim here for a few hours…. Shirts and suits ready the same day!
