We've spent the last couple of days mouching around Hoi An, hiring bikes - $1/day and going to the wet and windswept beach.
The boats you can see are like sea going Welsh coracles- made with woven bamboo - although not out today.
The rain has fallen pretty much the whole time at Hoi An but strangely it hasn't ruined the time - its warm and you just get your sandles on and paddle through the deeper bits. The water level rose to flood most of the fish and veg market - that wasn't a good place to paddle!
Once the water had dropped we walked along the other side of the river and looked across to the market, after we'd taken the photo, we realised you can see two of the fisher women having a wee over the side of the quay - maybe we shouldn't have waded through the floods!
View of the city
Bob and Jan's tenner having a G&T at a very swish cafe bar - it must have been posh, we charged almost £3 for large gin and tonic.
This was one of our last views of Hoi An before going to the bussle of the city,

You'll have to blow the picture up a bit.
As you can see the weather picked up as we were due to leave to travel down to Ho Chi Minh City - still called Saigon by the locals.

The city came as a bit of a shock after the rural Vietnam we're now accustomed to but the street food was just as good.
