Vietnam - Day 9 Nha Trang to Hoi An

Today we said goodbye to Nha Trang and made our way further up the coast to Hoi An. This involved about 4 hours sitting in taxis, airports and turbo prop planes.

Hoi An was used as the main central port by the French so it has a lot of French influence. The old town precinct is heritage listed by UNESCO. Traffic in this part is banned. BLISS.


Our first stop was at the Tam Tam Cafe to stock up on some sustenance (coffee and French cake).




We then explored more of the old town. These old biddies look like they are working hard. Their loads are heavy from all the money they were getting from posing with the tourists. However got to give them credit where credit is due.


We also checked out some of the tailors in town. Hoi An is famous for its cheap and quick tailors. We found one tailor and the whole family has been measured up for garments. Lisa and Tia are getting dresses. Jordan is getting a flannie/shirt. Brynley has cut loose and is getting a pin stripe suit with extra pants and a casual jacket.

They should be ready by Saturday night. Good to see communism working so well.
