Hoi An, Vietnam

Boat docked in Da Nang, and took a tour to Ancient Hoi An, on the way stopped at marble workshop right at the base of the Marble Mountains, saw some amazing marble carvings, unfortunately not something you could carry and didn't check out how much to ship back to Australia, definitely a reason to visit again.

Hoi An is a lovely community, with many remaining wooden buildings lending the town a distinctive charm. walked through its narrow streets and visited a traditional merchant’s house, where we saw our silk was made and was able to order some lovely pants that were delivered while we were having lunch.

During some free time went shopping in the town. Lunch was served at a local restaurant that also offered cooking classes in traditional Vietnamese cuisine.

Before returning to the ship, we stopped at My Khe Beach aka China Beach. This was a favorite military recreation spot during the war and became world famous through the television series in the USA.Read more
