Hoi An

VIETNAM | Tuesday, 7 September 2010 | Views [434] | Comments [5]

Great to be back in Hoi An, caught up with our friend Suong Mai and her family, much excitement there! It is Suong Mai's birthday today so we are heading to her parent's place for birthday dinner. We had dinner the previous night at our favourite restaurant, The Cargo Club and were recognised by most of the staff, lots of smiles, and the food is just as good. We have changed hotels and are now at the Than Van 2, have a huge room with 2 balconies for $35/night. Its closer to town, and the room gives us bit more space, has big bath too. www.thanvanhotel.com.vn The temperature here is hot hot hot, 36 degrees. We went shopping at the local market with Suong Mai this morning and brought lots of seafood and vegetables for dinner, she also brought us a big bag of mangos and some rambuttan. Her mother cooked us lunch, spinach and garlic, fresh fish, omelette, soup and rice, very simple, very tasty. Heading off now, can see Ian walking this way, love to all! xxxx

Hi Jo,
I see you were in DaNang on Saturday and left for Hoi An yesterday. My wife Alwyne and I are living in DaNang and I'm sorry that lazy Alan Nowakowski didn't send you my email address. He sent me your journal address today and we appear to have just missed sharing a meal here in DaNang. Any plans to return? We are signing a contract on a house here today after a very long stay in a hotel room (budget priced to conserve money and rather noisy). Hoi An is a real treat of a place and we have been down to it once since I got here a month ago. Let me know if you will be back here (possibly to catch a train?) and we can catch up.
Cheers,
Ron

good to hear that foxy can walk ,he certainly can't email. Enjoying reading of your travels ,Karina and her friend are going to Vietnam next year. On nightshift now on Picu. last night all three of us were on doubles. The well oiled machine continues to purr like a Rolls Royce. On a brighter note, a whale gave birth in the Derwent off Taroona a while back . First time in 170 years.Japanese researchers are banned from the area. Regards Chris.
