This morning, we were up early for our free breakfast at the hotel - a fantastic buffet that we definitely made the most of! Then we headed out for our day of sightseeing in Hoi An! Our first stop was the Museum of Trading Ceramics...not the most thrilling of exhibits, but it was worth going in for the house - a restored wooden building which gave us an idea of how Hoi An must have looked in the mid-nineteenth century. Next was Quan Cong Temple, which was founded...

After a surprisingly OK journey on the sleeper bus, we arrived in Hoi An at around 8am. We didn't know how to get to the hotel we'd booked so we got a taxi. Unfortunately, we couldn't check into our room until noon, so we left our bags and used the free computers to look up where to go to get some clothes made which is what Hoi An is famous for. We decided to go to the place that Emma got her dress made when she came in December. Dave wrote down the name of anoth...

Today we spent the morning packing and getting ready to leave for the long journey to Hoi An tonight. We checked out of the hotel at 12:00 and headed to a nearby cafe for lunch.

We're really getting into this beach bum lifestyle! Today we did the same as the last few days - had a bit of a lie-in then went to Veranda restaurant again for breakfast. We took a few photos of the gorgeous beach before heading back to the Louisiane Brewhouse to grab some sunbeds. It was a lot quieter today as the national holiday has now finished, so we had no trouble finding some beds. We stayed there for most of the day relaxing and cooling off in the pool...

Off to the beach again this morning...this time to try something we've wanted to do for ages - paragliding! We've seen it on lots of beaches but it's usually too expensive, particularly when we're on holiday in Spain spending Euros! Here, I'd done my research during a walk along the beach a couple of days ago and found somewhere (a few guys sat under a tent on the beach - I'd like to see their Health and Safety certificate!) that did tandem glides for 600,000dong...
