ultimatevietnamcambodia2015: Tuesday 27th October Hoi An

Another lazy day in paradise here in Hoi An. My day started at 5.50am with a walk down to the fresh food market to watch the stall holders set up and the locals buy their fresh produce for the day. The morning cloud burnt off very early and we had a beautiful (hot) sunny day for the rest of the day. In 4 trips to Vietnam this is by far the best run of good weather that I've experienced, so fingers crossed for Saigon, the delta and Cambodia.

There was little socializing from the group today as everyone did their own thing and from all accounts provided a fair amount of value-addedness to the local economy. Most people seemed happy with their clothing and shoe purchases.

The Historic Hoi An hotel is well located for easy access to the old town and is highly recommended as a place to stay. The swimming pool is excellent and a great haven for worn out shoppers as the photos below show. The grounds are spacious and well manicured and breakfasts would rate about the best of the trip.

In the evening, Jill and I had 'business' to attend to with Tinh. Tony tagged along and we met for a meal at a favourite restaurant at the end of Le Loi street overlooking the Thu Bon River. A great end to a pleasant day in Hoi An.
