After completing our diving license we got a 16hour night bus from Nha Trang to the quiet town of Hoi An. The night buses were good because they consisted of bunk beds...though they were small bunk beds.
Finally we arrived in Hoi An and wandered around the town taking in the area. It was a very picturesque place during the day:
It was during this time we started getting suits made and enjoyed an early drink. At night the town was illuminated in lanterns all over the river area.
The next day we went to My Son temples , which are temples built by the Cham empire around 700AD. These were quite nice but had been damaged by American bombing during the war.
After visiting the temples we got a boat back passing through a carpentry village along the way. Some of the work was outstanding...
The rest of the day was spent around a pool trying to cool down. The next day we got a bus to nearby Hue where we spent a night taking in some of the sites that included the Citadel and Buddhist Pagodas.
We are next planning to head to the capital, Hanoi.
