Day eight, Hoi An

After our excitement at yesterday's weather...we woke to wind and rain. Our included breakfast is a huge smorgasbord of food, including freshly cooked to order omelets and crepe's so everyone is happy. There are a lot of French, English, German and American tourists here...it's always interesting to hear all the different accents around us. Once the rain settled down we explored the old town, buying cheap sunglasses, and ordering some prescription ones for grant...and tailor made pants for me. The market was pretty interesting, although the boys didn't seem to enjoy the butcher section too much :)

Late in the afternoon we visited our Australian friends who we just happened to meet up with at the airport in Ho Ch Minh. They are living here for 6 months. Alison has taken on volunteer work with an organization that supports disabled people in the area. Their three boys attend a local international school with only 14 kids...and Pete has been learning to cook! Dinner was fantastic And we enjoyed reminiscing about our Australia trip and learning a little about their life in Vietnam.
