arrived in Hoi An, following a stay in Nha Trang

---

Had a wonderful stay in the resort town of Nha Trang, it appears everyone else in the world is coming here for holidays except us Brits! Had a day out at sea on a island tour that turned into an international karoke show complete with floating bar- a ice box in the sea! I love how everything is over sold in this great land of comrades- we have nothing on them in the capitalist west. Then we had a day at the hot mud spas and lounged all day in outdoor baths, waterfalls and 80c pools- thinking of England!

We did the sleeper bus to Hoi An- left at 730pm and arived at 7am, a strange experience at first but will be doing it again soon.

And here we are in the beautiful Hoi An- a quant heritage city free of cars and bikes, a miracle for Asia! Just had 4 small pots of beers for 50p- 12p each! That is the record so far! So far 2 and half weeks of glorious weather- until now- rain of the Manchester type, but without £4 a pint pubs.

Tomorrow, cooking class and market tour...
