So, arrived in Hoi yesterday after longer than intended stay in Nha Trang. Although didn't like Nha Trang at first, grew to quite like the place - very relaxing and was quite sad to go.

The weather at times got really wet and visibility was zero - tried to forget about the 300 feet drop on one side of the bus....
