Hoi An and onwards

Since I last wrote, we have taken a boat ride to a small town through extreme rain. I guess I cannot expect anything less, being it is the end of the rainy season here in Hoi An. The streets are flooded and it is very normal for the people to continue with their daily lives in this fashion.




More rain anyone!!!


I saw some interesting sites such as locals rocking a boat that lots like a basket to get to their own larger boat.

I swam in the South China Sea.

It was so warm as it was rainy on us. We even saw carts that go from the main land above the Sea to a resort on the other side.

It was very cool. We went to vist one of the largest Buddha status in Vietnam.

Then in the afternoon we had a relaxing time at a mud bath and hot springs.

It was so nice before we boarded an overnight train to Saigon. We got on the train at 10:10 in the evening and got off at 4:30 in the morning. Not much sleep. Oh well....
