Day 25 and 26 : Japanese Whispers (14 and 15 Dec 2008)
Hoi An : Hanoi on a small scale but without the traffic. Indeed very cute: the little streets with wooden houses, the river banks with the fish market, the Japanese quarter on the other side of the bridge, the temples and shops. Again nothing spectacular. We visited on of the old houses, owned by the mandarin family for over 2 centuries. Some nice Viet-French speaking lady showed us around, but as we are used to by now, the visit ended in the souvenir shop where they tried to convince us to buy something. So back to our stroll to the streets then. The Ancient House Hotel made up a lot for the lack of sights in town. Because previously other clients of Vietnam Journey, our tour operator, complained about the Glory hotel, we were moved into a luxurious resort with enormous rooms with a bath in stone, rain shower, laptop and DVD player in the room. We could enjoy the swimming pool only the day of arrival, the rest of the days the weather was not good enough.
Nearby we discovered a nice little restaurant where the owners were very friendly. They rented bikes, so the next day we were back on the bike cruising the country and the sea side.
