Sunday in Hoi An

Sunday, March 09, 2014
Hoi An, Quảng Nam, Vietnam
Not much to say about today. We moved hotels out onto the Cua Dai road in what is quite an impressive building modelled obviously on French lines but with a swimming pool. What a great luxury a pool is here. The outdoor seating is under thatched roofs and staff bring drinks if asked. Colonialism eh, who needs it?
I vowed not to walk anywhere today following my usual Sunday practice honed over the years when I actually worked, Sunday was a day of rest and that's what I did .
Johnnie intervened of course and I ended up walking into Hoi An and dropping off laundry on the way to Mrs Binh who is also repairing a rip in my jacket. Priced some digital cameras on the way which I don't think are cheaper than Ebay, however I need one right now as I am sick of crappy phone pics.
Went looking for the archetypical Vietnam T Shirt which has 3 traffic lights on the front...... Green , you can go, Orange ......yes you can go, Red....you can still go. No luck but found a Papaya shop which has the best T shirts in Hoi An. Heard that Anthony Bourdain is in the area, eye peeled for the photo op.
 
 Scooters tomorrow, maybe...stay tuned.
