Arrived in hoi an late at night so just went for some street food and a drink along the river. Hoi an is one of the best places in Vietnam to go shopping, so what do 5 girls do when arriving here? SHOPPING! Was amazing to spend day wandering the markets and little shops looking for all the hidden treasures they hold down by the river.

Onwards and upwards and the spring roll...

However Kelly was feeling slightly dehydrated so decided to neck a whole b...
