I’m all out of sync because of the problems loading the blog so here’s an assortment of photos from Hoi An that we like.

We did the lantern boat thing. Not sure how romantic it was. A bit like being on Crystal Palace boating pond except with less dinosaurs and more floating coconuts. Pretty though.

Fruit lady persuaded us to have a go with her baskets. God they were heavy! I should give up the gym and sell mangoes in Summertown instead.

More lanterns….

Forgot to mention that Hoi An is famous for tailoring.

And lovely Li who does a great massage. Not quite the tranquil ambience of the hotel spa but at $20 who cares? It’s much nicer at her place.

Li and I had the same conversation that we have had with almost everyone we meet.

Married?

Do you have children?

How many? Boy and a girl? Ah, you are blessed.

Yes we are.

Do they have girlfriend, boyfriend? No?

Look of sympathy then ensues, with an immediate backtrack to how blessed we are.
