Tour boats along the river |
Street scenes |
So bespoke tailors are all over southeast Asia--3 suits, 6 pants, 4 shirts, $200, 2 hours (I exaggerate a bit)--but nowhere did it seem more stylish than in Hoi An |
One of many old, renovated buildings |
Old city well |
Motorbike shopping in the market |
Personally, I prefer my pizza with anchovies, or if shrimp, peeled and de-veined; arranged anti-clockwise |
We had banana pancake in Laos; not all that great; never did get to mango pancake |
Favorite Hoi An t-shirt |
Where we got our last Vietnamese haircuts and pedicure |
Our hotel at night |
So Hoi An is a bit moist, and when we observed a couple mosquitoes in our room, the hotel provided us with this weapon |
Hue train station; closed for renovation |
So we boarded here |
Aboard car #2; wrong side |
For much of the 2 hour ride, we were subjected to Vietnamese "stand-up" comedy; not in English too |
Coastline; not all that great |
We've seen a lot of coastlines |
Danang in the distance |

Thus; mile upon mile of statuary, formerly mountains |
Upon mile |
Our hotel in Hoi An |
More of the French colonial style Vicki likes |

A hillside construction, three terraces, many steps |
Thus |
Guard statues |
The usual stele |
Main "palace" |
Much intricate carving |
Main altar |
In the ante-hall |
Khai Dinh's tomb |
On a hill nearby, Our Lady of the...wait, no |
Last look at the tomb of Khai Dinh |
