Today we hired bikes and thought we would explore Hoi-An a bit more. The owner of our hostel, Steve, is English and showed us a good route to go on the map so we followed that. It took us through some villages where the first interesting thing we saw was a home-made gym! It had bamboo sticks with circular stones on the end which created a bench press, a smaller one of these which was a bar-bell, smaller version again which were dumb-bells, chin-up bars, and a ...

Today we always planned on just chilling, got up at 10 after not really enough sleep, but we didn't want to miss breakfast which ended at 11. Free fry ups all round for breky, went down a treat. So much better than egg and bread!! We then went in the pool for a bit, it was so refreshing and so good for a hangover.

This is the day we have been looking forward to… 'The Top Gear Experience'.

The rest of the time we tried to sleep but the driver was a bit of a maniac and would brake suddenly all the time which made it hard. We arrived safely and checked into our new hostel, which was...

After the boat we checked into the hostel, locked our bags away and went to the roof to meet David, we wanted to get up there a bit earlier than the other night as we didn't want to be playing catch up again. Turns out we wasn't early enough, everyone was once again smashed, and for some reason a lot of the blokes were wearing dresses! Not sure whos idea that was.
