Relaxing in Hoi An - 23 / 27 Jan

Fishing boats on the river through Hoi  An
At last somewhere that allows a bit of chilling out.

Hoi An is an ancient port and as such has a sizeable Chinese community. Each group within it has its' own meeting house generally combined with a temple but possibly including gardens and school rooms. These are very ornate and colourful areas.

We hired bikes one day and cycled out through the fields to the beach resort at Cua Dai.  This was a very interesting trip and we cycled through lots of countryside and villages.  We stopped to watch a number of fishing boats as they stripped fish from their nets.
