Whose idea was it for me to bring a small bag? I wish I'd brought a suitcase. An empty one.
Took the overnight train to Hoi An, a small town halfway up the cast. It's known for the silk trade and has about 200 tailors, all making gorgeous made to measure clothes. There seems to be almost as many shoe makers. They'll make you anything you want, in any size or colour. They can even copy your favourite shoes or make them from a drawing. I have no time and no space, so I don't buy a thing. Can you believe it? A couple of weeks on the road and I'm already unrecognisable. :o)
The old town is very pretty, especially in the evenings with all the lights. The hotel we are in is luxury for us. Have made the most of its lovely pool and internet, although both are constantly busy with Aussie children. Shall have to get used to them.
