Hoi an is a little further south, down the coast of Vietnam, it is famous as being the place to go if you want any custom made clothing. It would have been great to get a suit or two made in 24 hours, however i am on a budget and i restrained. Clem however made the most of it and got lots made. lol. Apart from Tailors Hoi an does not have much else, almost every shop is trying to sell you clothes. While Clem was making her mind up about the colour of shorts to get in one place, a very persistant lady was trying to sell Karl linen trousers. We tried to good cop bad cop discount routine but it failed on this occasion, however, the lady did comment on what a nice guy i was and offered me her daughter, also in the room and also a Tailor, she looked a little embarressed. lol.
While in Hoi an we bumped into, quite randomly, Kathryn and Jakob from our China tour, for the 2nd time in Vietnam. It is absolutely amazing what a small world we live in and how many people you bump into again and again!
On the final day there, the heavens opened again, and the rain came down hard. So much so that the river came over the banks on the water front and flooded the road infront of all the bars.
Next day we left to go to a place called Whale Island for Christmas.
