Wedded Bliss in Hoi An Paradise
















We have just completed our last full day here in Hoi An and we are both now feeling very chilled and relaxed, my sleep in the giant moses basket on the beach helped enormously (see picture above). Dean reckons he is now a 'very' bronzed Adonis, however I am sure I am browner than he is!! (And as I am writing this blog, I guess that must be true!)! We went into Hoi An last night and had an excellent meal at the Cargo Club, Dean feasted on a spicey local curry and I had beef with crispy noodles, mmmmm, delicious. We visited the market during the day and I am amazed at how it brought back childhood memories of visiting the food markets in Hong Kong with my mother - health and hygiene? What's that? The hustle and bustle of the day in Hoi An was transformed into a wonderful lantern experience by night - still incredibly hot though. The main square had a large full screen TV for the World Cup, and whilst the locals were waiting for the game, this was turned into a large Karaoke. We have never seen anything like it, there were hundreds of mopeds parked in front of the screen and the audience were transfixed by both the karaoke and later, by the football. We have really enjoyed our time here but are already looking forward to the adventure of Ho Chi Minh! TTFN xx

  1. The secret is that everything is fresh and cooked at high temperatures - at the end of the day leftovers are all thrown away - not taken in and out of the fridge constantly!
