Hoi An, Day 2 Rest and Relaxation

Today was an R&R day, started with breakfast at our 5 star resort, watching the ducks line up in the river. After breakfast, a short trip to the beach and then all on the bus into town to sightsee historic Hoi An.

In the evening we went back into town for dinner and all the lanterns were lit around the river, very nice, but no pic, left camera at hotel. Maybe I get someone else pics. However it bucketed down rain from about 8.30 and we all go soaked trying to get back to hotel.

Tomorrow, ride to Hue via Da Nang (the biggest city in the area)
