Day Fifteen

Something Awesome: Arrived in Hoi An - a beautiful old town famous in Vietnam for it's tailoring. All the buildings in the old town are all mustard coloured and the whole town has a very strangely European feel.

Something Crap: Weather hasnt been too great and we arrived in Danang and got a taxi to Hoi An in the rain.
Something we did: Checked into Phuoc An hotel in Hoi An and had the first hot shower that I've had in a few days. GLORIOUS. Also got lured into a few too many tailor-shops.... results pending... :)
Something random: You can find draught beer here for approx R1.50 (0.20$)
Something we ate: Fried Wonton. A traditional favourite.  Made from rice paper and it comes with vegetables and sauce on top. yum.

blake: that's R1.20.

Woah! Looks like you're on some sort of epic adventure! They should call that the R1.20 Beer tour. Saffer men would be all over that! Well I wish you fun, mad and safe travels over the festive season my friend. x
