Hoi An, Vietnam

Molly and Tyler had to leave our group in Nha Trang since they only had a week so this just left my twinsie, Molly, and me to finish up Vietnam with the final two weeks. It is fun and fine with just the two of us, but then we met a friend from Holland in Nha Trang that is doing the same route as us but by herself so we scooped her us and had her join our duo. Our friend Lychelle left one night before us headed for Hoi An since we just couldn't leave Nha Trang so we decided we would just meet at the hotel. When Molly and I arrived in Hoi An we had 5 hours until we could check in so we left to explore the city. After countless bus rides it has really taken a toll on our bodies so we decided we deserved massages. After that we rented bicycles and rode to the city center where the market, shops and other tourist attractions were. We saw most of the temples, old houses, and bridges, which were the main attractions but we kept finding ourselves distracted by the shopping. Hoi An is known for their tailoring. Of course once we got started we couldn't stop. I got two dresses, one skirt, one pair of sandals and one pair of leather boots all made just for me. Although this sounds great my backpack is filling sooooo quick even after sending a package home. The next morning Molly, Lychelle, and another friend we met in Nha Trang Sander, and I headed out on motorbikes to visit Myson, which are temples dating back to the 18th century. Of course I still don't trust myself driving motorbikes, especially with their driving and lack of traffic laws so I jumped on the back of Sander's bike for the ride. Myson was about an hour ride outside the city and a beautiful ride at that. It was so nice to be out of the city and see mountains, and rice paddies for miles. Myson was beautiful but I feel like I have just been so spoiled after visiting Angkor Wat that no temple can compare. After 2 nights and 3 days in Hoi An it was time to hit the road again for Hue but not after a little more shopping. After spending way too much money we jumped on the bus headed for Hue. The picture below is to show that I'm a millionaire in Vietnam. This has been quite the adjustment with their currency considering 20,000 dong is $1.00 u.s., so pretty much everyone is a millionaire but hey it sounds and looks cool!
