Hoi An etc

It is wonderful to be in the countryside.  After an exciting week in the north of the country we are loving the peace and quiet (relatively speaking) of Hoi  An.

I will be responsible for the post tonight as Colin had a few too many cocktails at dinner!


A happy woman selling crafts on the street.

Floating store at Halong Bay. Even better were the ones with ice cold beer!

Woman we saw on the street today.  This is not unusual!  Imagine thousands of scooters loaded up like this, but with ducks, pigs, orange trees, flowers etc


A Dong Silk where Colin was fitted today for his wedding suit.


Lunch at the bar across the street from our hotel. Nothing like a delicious $8 meal.
