Vietnam: Da Nang & Hoi An



 Saw a dead scorpion and got drenched by tropical storm in Da Nang. Took shelter in a traditional tea house before heading for the local bus stop to Hoi An.

Hoi An bus journey was the most authentic experience of this location, the bus conductor was playing the 'how many people can we fit on this bus' game and the driver was playing the 'how many vehicles can I dodge last minute' game.  The town itself is really nice and picturesque but is totally geared towards tourism. All the shops, bridges and streets were covered with lanterns at night and needless to say I did the first of much shopping here. Met another couple by fluke who we knew from home and cycled to the beach and herb gardens out of town (we think we made it to the herbs, we never knew for sure).

Also our towels in our hotel were made in to swans which was pretty cool.
