Hoi An

The famous port town of Hoi An with its historic old town and lanterns was the next stop on our way to the north. After a 12 hour-long night bus ride, we arrived at this famous little town, which was influenced by Chinese, Japanese and European merchants.

The first day, we explored the old city centre, tried some cafés and wandered around stores. In the evening, we found a nice roof top bar with a happy hour to enjoy the sunset and view over town 🍸

Besides its well-preserved buildings and architecture, Hoi An is also famous for getting tailor-made clothes. There are shops everywhere! and at some point we decided to get some clothes tailored as well.
Before picking them up, we needed two more fitting appointments to get them adjusted. In the end, we were super happy with the results 🥰 (We also bought way more things than originally planned 😂)

The next days, we took our hotel's free bikes to explore Hoi An's country side. We cycled around rice fields, visited the nearby beach and had the best Pho in the middle of nowhere 🍜 The couple who owned the place was so nice and they kept giving us free stuff like guava leaf tea or fresh fruit 🍉🍍

One night, we also joined a cooking class. That one was a bit weird as we were the only ones in that class and the instructor seemed to be super tired. While she did most of the cooking, we were more like assistants 🫡 In the end, we enjoyed a delicious meal which included fried spring rolls, Vietnamese pancake and Pho. We weren't able to finish our meal though, at some point the lady came by, handed us some to-go bags and just waited for us to leave. She really was tired 😂

Our stay in Hoi An was a lot of fun, filled with delicious food, visiting old buildings and watching the lantern-lit boats at night 🏮🛶Baca lagi
