Hoi An


Well Bec is sick again, so she stayed in bed today. I headed out on our tour to My Son at about 8, it was a little under 2 hours drive to get there. Once there we passed through a cafĂ©/gift shop and then had a jeep ride closer to the My Son temple ruins, the ruins are very old (older then Angkor Watt) but are in fairly bad condition with only 1 group of temples still standing (apparently the area was heavily bombed during the war which destroyed many of the temples), most of the carvings are all worn off but the buildings that do remain are still beautiful amongst the lush green forest. I only had about an hour or so to wonder around and then it was back on the jeep and the bus as we headed back for the boat ride, which took about 30 minutes to a wood carving village where we had a quick look around and saw a big fish statue being carved and also some relief carving, the tour finished up with a boat back into town. The tour went so some nice places but all up it was too rushed and the guide was very rude to other people in the group. Once off the boat I headed back to the hotel to see how Bec was doing and she was worse! So after an hanging around for an hour or so I headed into town to have a look at our clothes being made which all seemed to be going well, tried on my jacket and pants and they fit so I’m guessing Bec’s will be fine too. After checking on our clothes I walked around town a little longer and noticed the river has flooded so took a few pics and then headed back to the hotel for some dinner. Bec has booked me into a photography thing tomorrow morning at 5am so early night for me!
