Shopping and beaches

After a five hour journey we arrived at Hoi an but this time we just took the normal seated night bus and although the driver was all over the place again it wasn't as bad.Now this a place that all three of us really liked.We were in heaven,for a week every day we went to two or three different restaurants trying the the local food (plus they all cooked western food for the days when Jan couldn't face it)if we wasn't eating we were looking around all the shops and getting some clothes made to measure or buying something for our appartment in Mallorca.Afew times Me,Jan and Robbie would meet up with two or three groups of people of different nationalities that we'd met during the day for a big meal and some drinks at night.Jan and myself decided to go on another cooking course after enjoying the one we did in Thailand near the start of our trip.This time though we were learning vietnamiese specialities.Then after cooking it all we sat down for a big meal with the rest of the group.After another twelve hour seated night bus we arrived at the start of the proper beach areas of vietnam,Nha trang.This again was another area which we really liked although it is alot more touristic and reminded us abit of parts of Spain.The same thing happened here as in Hoi an and we met alot of nice people,shared stories ,ate good meals ,got drunk and went shopping,it was great.So far all of vietnam has been brilliant and basically one big piss up, where we've met lots of different people,tried lots of new foods,been shopping and learned alot about vietnams past,and i'm pretty sure thats how it going to keep going.Appart from the first day here the weather has improved alot too which is nice.
