Hoi An not to be confused with Hanoi

Hoi An and Hue were stop breaks so we didn't have to spend 24 hours straight on a bus to Hanoi.

First port of call in Hoi An was to find some food which didn't resemble noodles.....lot's o' chips please :) We were a little tired of thai food by the end of the motorcycle tour. We stuck around for a couple of days and had some clothes made for cheap cheap cheap...these things have to be done!! We went out in the evening and you may not believe this but Amy ran into someone from her home town, Ellon!! She ran off to speak to some really tall guy with a lot of facial hair and I really wondered what was going on for a second - then she introduced me and all became clear. He was called Andy Watt in case anyone's interested :) Then we had to walk home in the rain and try and find our hotel - not an easy task in the dark when we found it the shutters had been pulled down and the gates locked. Apologies to the man we had to wake up to let us in!!

In Hue the first thing we saw was James and Rachel!! They were about to get on the bus headed for Hanoi - "we'll see you there kids"! We ventured to a street cafe and had some weird deep fried noodles - which was about as filling as eating air and about as tasty as dust.
