Hoi An, Vietnam - Saturday 4th October, 2014


Enjoying our relaxing resort, although we did go into town (Hoi An) this morning on the 11.00am free hotel shuttle. and returned at 2.30pm. Just walked around the town just taking it all in. This is the place that's popular to have clothes and shoes made to measure.

I am getting a pair of shorts and two pairs of leather Jandels made and will be ready tomorrow for pick up.
PT wanted some jeans made but the material wasn't quite how we know jean material so he left it, and came away with nothing,poor chap...

Very hot in town as it is 10mins inland on the rivers edge. After walking around for three hours back to the resort and the feel of the ocean breeze was great.
We went down for a swim on beach as I felt the pools were too warm from the sun, wouldn't be refreshing enough.  Opted for the beach thinking it would be more refreshing but it too was very warm, amazing but still nicer than the pools. I prefer the sea,so nice with the wind blowing in off the ocean.
Sat on their loungers for awhile under the umbrella, very pleasant.

Came back to our room, caught up with the washing, real fun... then it was time for a drink, on the deck with sea air blowing in. So different from all the cities we have been through since we left home. Our little four day unwind before we hit the big cities again. Just beautiful down this coastline for the relaxation of the beach life with its golden clean sand. After drinks, down for dinner.



Nice spacious hotel room . Looking in from the balcony area, across the bed to a nice long desk area behind. Nice to have all this space to work on the computer. We sit here and look straight out to sea.


Standing beside the desk looking out, and as you can see  nice sitting area on the deck but the ranch sliders  are on the outside of the deck, so the deck area can be used as an indoor or outdoor deck.

 

This photo makes it clearer that the ranch sliders are just behind the railing so you can close it, makes it all inside or have it as an open deck....



View straight out over the ocean.


Slightly looking left the ocean beach where we swam today.


Our room top floor level three first angled room just round the corner from the front which gets a great view as above. Its a really good room as its the nearest block to the beach. Room 1325.


The main pool


The beach pool, they call the lap pool.


Now in Hoi An town. A closed in bridge over a stream which goes out to the river.


 Crossing the enclosed bridge inside.


Another stream flowing into the river. (Quite dirty and full of rubbish)


Now down on the bridge across the river.


Looking across the bridge into the town.


Other end of street.


Fishing boats in the river.



Shops like this lining the streets where you have your clothes and shoes made.


Shop just full of  lanterns.  We were told to go into town at night just to see all the lanterns lite up lining the streets.


My new friend


A wedding couple having their wedding photos taken on the river near the bridge that we were on in above photos. Another great day hot humid and very sunny.
