We got up nice and early this morning because we'd arranged to go on a trip to some temples just out of town, called My Son. We had our free breakfast, which was pretty good and then we waited for the bus.My Son are a huge series of temples that date back to about the 7th Century. The site was massive and although some are in reasonable condition, a lot of them are ruins after they were bombed during the Vietnam War. Rather than catch the bus all the way back to town, we did half the journey by boat. On the way we stopped at a carpentry factory, where they make all the wooden souvenirs being sold about town - one worker was only 14 years old, bless him! When we got back to Hoi An, we had a look around the markets and then went into our tailors to collect our things. All the adjustments had been made and our clothes are great - especially Nikki's dress - she's gonna be the bell of any ball!
We chilled out around our hotel this afternoon and then this evening we went for a walk down towards the river. When we were there we went into a funky little café and had a nice meal. The food was pretty good (I had duck), but the beer was better - it was only 3,000VD a glass... 10p - woohoo!
10 pence a beer! I wonder how long the money from our house sale will last if we stay here forever?
