We popped back into Hoi An last night. Jenni was due at Yaly, a tailor store for a 2nd fitting of her dress.
Along the way, there was a TORRENTIAL downpour!!! The roads became flooded in minutes. This is due to the poor drainage systems....which on the roads, is fairly primitive.
As we drove the 5kms into town, we passed so many tourists on bikes who had been caught out by the storm and were either; cycling with adversity - drenched to the bone - or had stopped by any open store for cover. This could have been a temple, someone's front porch or a local restaurant.
As we stopped into the town, we put on our "mac's in a pack" and made a dash for the bank.
Today, Tuesday - totally lost track of the days - we have lazed by the beautiful beach again. It is beautiful. Our kind of place. Isolated enough, quiet and clean. The sand is a fine white colour which extends into the sea. Therefore, no dodgy walks when you step into the sea navigating sharp rocks and stones. There are none, so it's just the hot sand you have to dance across.
Most likely a boat trip to Cham Island tomorrow which is 20km off the coast in front of our beach sunloungers...
Tonight, Hoi An (again) to pickup Jenni's finished dress. We have also seen a painting we may buy from a famous local artist, so no doubt another browse.
One thing I will say, the country is so cheap. We ate last night for £8!
