Had a half day at My Son this morning ... was very interesting but ya really need to visit My Son before the mother of all temples ... Angkor Wat in Cambodia ... not the other way around :))
I got the boat (instead of the bus for something different) back to the city centre of Hoi An ... the bus driver from hell took us to catch the boat... I'm amazed he did not kill a few kids on the way ... I told him he was a terrible driver when I got off ... he just laughed... when he does eventually kill a kid he won't be laughing!! Everybody on the bus was horrified at how dangerous his driving was.
Anyway when I got back to Hoi An Old Town had fresh rice paper rolls (2 days in a row now from this restaurant called "Red Sail" that has the best food ... near where the boat dropped us off) washed down with a 3,000 dong glass of beer and that's pretty much my day.
I did buy a top ... the lady wanted 480,000 dong and was NOT worth this much (!) ... I told her I would only pay 80,000 dong ... I thought I heard her say the "f" word at me but she was still smiling when I paid her the money (and she tried to short change me :)) so I gather she was happy.
Last night I tee-d up with Mr Son who is an "Easy Rider" to take me to the Marble Mountains tomorrow morning on his very flash Honda Motor Bike for 5 bucks. I saw him this morning at My Son and he greeted me like his long lost friend... what I nice man ... looking forward to it.
And I found this reallly groovy wine bar last night called the "White Marble" I think where they have aussie wines by the glass....but then the owner is from Sydney ... how nice would that be to live in Australia and own a wine bar in Hoi An ... probably will go back there tonight.
Had a good sleep last night and fixed the puffy eye.
