Vietnam Day 7 (morning) - Hoi An

We are off to explore the town of Hoi An;



The streets are crowded early this hot Saturday morning;


First stop, of course, is a Temple. This is one where locals and visitors alike leave messages (prayers?) articulating their hopes;



Colourful shopping streets;


Another temple;


Ancient bridges;


A mobile vegetable 'store';


A mobile noodle 'stall';


Tranquility;


And a wedding;



As Mr Coward wrote, only mad dogs and Englishmen are out in the midday sun so this was a good time to adjourn to our hotel for a breather and some leisure by the enticing pool.

In the evening we would return to town for a wander through the market, a cooking class and dinner. (More about that in the ensuing travel post.)
