Hoi An, Vietnam : 28 Nov 10

Day 3 in Hoi An .... one more day to go :)) Been staying at the "My Chau" hotel... wouldn't really recommend it as my favourite place to stay but it's very cheap so can't really complain ... the girl on the front desk was very helpful the first day but you have to fight the staff for the free guest internet ... !!!

Caught an Easy Rider motorbike (it's definitely the way to travel) out to the Marble Mountains this morning ... would have to be one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I have been. Loved it! Lots of Hindu and Buddhist temples and symbols and buddhas in caves and two lookouts with fantastic views over China Beach. Greg Norman is doing a massive development out there ... seemed to go on for miles! Too much money!

Took it easy this arvy ... I'm on a mission to try ALL of the Hoi An gourmet specialities before I leave... had an early graze ... Pork Wontons at one restaurant and then I had Hoi An Pancake with shrimp and pork at my favourite restaurant "Red Sail" .... YUMMMO .. this restaurant has the best food in Hoi An ... and they have cooking classes but I think I would rather not wreck the good food but just eat the good food :))

Last night I hung out at my favourite wine bar "White Marble" til quite late.. no wonder I struggled to get out of bed this morning :)) One of the waitresses there is gorgeous and we have lots of chats and she has had a bit of a sad life. Breaks my heart but she still has a beautiful smile on her face!

Tomorrow going to SLEEP IN :)) and then grab a push bike, brave the traffic and do the beach circuit. And then probably eat and sleep and eat and sleep and maybe drink a few local fresh beers :)) well I am on holidays so I don't feel guilty at all!!
