After breakfast and checking out, the girls and I went for a wander into the old town of Hoi An. The tiny streets are filled with low hanging lanterns and the riverside filled with little boats; a very pretty town. We browsed some shops where I bought some pretty bits and pieces and got some lunch by the river; it's a really lovely city and I kind of wish I had a bit more time here to get to know it a bit better.
