Here is Danang's brown river water. This picture was taken from the view of Glory and Ron's balcony. While the other picture is Hoi An during the day.
Hoi An at night is magical. Most of the local shops glow with colourful home made lanterns.
Hoi An is known for its tailoring frenzy and most tourists leave Hoi An with something whether it'd be a suit,dress or even custom made shoes... you just can't escape Hoi An without being sucked in.... Derek got a bunch of stuff. As for me, got me 3 autumn jackets, one summer dress, one pair of shorts and 3 t-shirts with "Uriah" embroidered on two and "McIntosh" on the other... all for under $120Aus. Should have designed some more.....
My Son Holy Land Quick Fact:
The World Heritage archaeological site of My Son was a Cham dynasty capital, between the 4th and 12th centuries AD. Located in Quang Nam Province some 70 kilometers south of DaNang, My Son has the distinctively eclectic architecture of the Champa kingdom, with architectural elements from China and India. The most famous tower at My Son stood 24 meters (75 feet) tall, of sandstone carved with lions and elephants and other images. It was destroyed during US bombing in 1969. Amazing place. We did the sunrise tour to My Son. Got up at 5am... So worth it.
Surprisingly, Hoi An has a gorgeous beach (Cua Dai Beach). It is about 4km from Hoi An town. We just rented a couple of bicycles and cycled our way down to the beach and just enjoyed every minute of it... apart from seeing a couple of dead rats on the side of the road (wanted to cry as I am sooooo terrified of them).
We are soldiering on, have had a few unfortunate experiences early on however, looking back now i guess its all part of the fun of travelling...
Until our next blog,
-Uriah
