Night trains!

---

Well we arrived in Nha Trang from HCM with great relief to my dodgy stomach - say no more. The next day was a recovery day before we went to trip around the local islands. The trip included a small fishing village where the locals paddled around in small baskets attempting to ferry you around for a dollar. We had a meal on the island and then went for a snorkel. The afternoon was taken up with snoozing and doing pencil dives of the top of the boat (an ozzy thing?). On returning we then caught the night train again to Hoi An. Hong gave us a detailed discussion about security on the train as there are many thieves around and if they see a tourist, gather like rust on a hyundai coupe.

When he was explaining this a chap opened our carriage and then shut the door promptly continuing to do so down the carriage- Hong managed to stop him and he scampered off. This happened approx 6 times in a short space of time. As a result we had a password we had too say before we could be let in - This just happened to be BANANAS (the louder the better)! After a journey filled with games such as crosswords (thrilling for Tobi from Germany),9 card brag with forfeits/ Guess the tune (whistling) / in depth discussions about the world the universe and everything (which incidently im still reading) / a few beers snacks and chocolate we arrived. Thankfully this time id had a good sleep and the train didnt arrive until 10am.

Hoi An a small village pretty much filled with Tailors with approx 300 tailor shops. Its a pleasant place with a great hotel with pool and pool table.
