Vietnamese cooking day....
Up for early breakfast and then taxi in to Hoi An.
After a welcome drink we explore the main market - veg, fruit, herbs, meat, and souvenirs! And finally fish (and crabs) by the riverside.

Then on to the boat to travel up river to the Red Bridge cooking school.

Quick lap of the herb garden, and then in to cooking zone. Great combo of watching, listening and trying ourselves!

Spring rolls, noodles, salad and chicken hotpot.

Then in to the restaurant to eat what we had created ( with a little extra from the chef)

Stop in the restaurant pool for Dad, Betsy and Dylan. Then all with more sunbathing time back at Zest.

Off to An Bang beach for a fun evening at Soul Kitchen (https://maps.app.goo.gl/CX9V6u6ZCTSvuVcn9) with good music, card games and good food ( and a cocktail or two)Read more

Pool and foot massage in the morning, and then we cycled to one of the closer beaches for lunch (https://maps.app.goo.gl/Z52dj9h7syRvQNxdA)
Not as busy or atmospheric as An Bang, but nice lunch either way.
Back for a few more hours by the pool then back to Hoi An for the last time for a wander, a drink (at the Market Bar) and a Thai meal.

Day 30 - Hanoi
August 27, 2023 in Vietnam ⋅ ☁️ 35 °C
Wandered around in the heat including a walk across a bridge full of moped drivers coming towards us. Such extreme heat we had to go and sit down in an air conditioned train station for a while! Then trip to the war museum via ‘tiny cafe’ for some cold drinks. Will and Dylan walked there but Amy, Jake & Betsy were too hot so took a taxi with air con!
War museum was interesting- learnt how resilient and tenacious the Vietnamese were in all their fighting.
Dinner at a restaurant called Duongs which was lovely - bun cha, pho and spring rolls plus very expensive salmon for Amy.Read more
