Hayley & Holly On Tour 2006
Hello,
Again sorry about the picture- lack of options im afraid but we have seen some buddhists to make it a little more authentic- im clutching at straws!!
Well we have left Hue and are currently in Hoi An, stop three of 5, no update yesterday im afraid because we didnt really do anything other than sit on a bus for 5 hours and then lay beside the pool- yes our hotel has a pool!!!
Today we have done a little more than sitting or lying down!! We decided to hire bicycles from the hotel and take a little trip to the beach. You can hire the bikes for the day at a stupidly low cost and the beach is about 3km away. The beach was lovely, white sands, a view out to sea of the mountains and islands- beautiful!! The only downside was that the sand was extremly hot so walking was a little bit of a challenge and quite frankly painful. Also a lot of people trying to sell you pineapples and telling you its cheaper than tescos followed by a quote from Only Fools and Horses- very odd!!
After figuring that we were going a little too pink- it would appear the sun laughs in the face of factor 30- we decided to head back and take the bikes into town for a little bike around.
Biking in the centre was great fun much better (and quicker) than walking and we both survived and didnt cause a pile up- so succcess all round! Going over junctions is different because nobody has the right of way so it is basically a free for all and avoidance is the key. There was a couple of near misses of holly/hayley versus motorcycle or lady trying to sell you something but it made it a little bit more fun! Daddy Gould i think im definately ready for the black route now!!
We stopped of for some dinner at another little cafe place and had Cau Lau, a local dish of flat noodels and some more spring roles- these ones alas are not in the top three- very poor in comparison but the sauce which was some sort of soy and sesame seeds was very tasty and left the moth a little tingley.
That is about it for our adventures today we are now retreating for a beer and pineapple on our balcony- oh yeah our room has a balconly on it as well- rubbish bathroom and email facilities but pool, balcony and two course breakfast so you will get few complaints from us both.
Apologies all round for lack of emails but we are unable to access our hotmail accouts so will reply and what not when we are able to- i think hayley may have just posted a message saying so- they are b*****s!!!
Anyway take care, missing you all lots, even more without email contact.
Lots of love
Holly and Hayley
