Mira's favourite so far...
Hi all, I am not have great luck with my photos tonight but here goes my third try...
We are here in sunny, hot and very humid Hoi An, Vietnam, just south of Da Nang and close to the famous China Beach. We have met up with our friends Krista, Ray, and Lily. We are staying a wonderful hotel thanks to Krista; it even has a pool. This is the first pool since Bangkok and it is great. The pool offers some welcome relief from the humidity. Mira wanted me to show you the room when we arrived. The girls were very excited.
We have rented bikes again but unlike Laos where the passenger seat was padded, here the back is just a wire rack. The girls quickly found a more comfortable way to travel - they stand on the rack and hold on to our shoulders. They attract lots of attention.
Our new way to transport kids.
Once we had wheels, we headed to the beach. It is about 5 km out of town but well worth the effort... kms of sand and warm water. The ocean is warmer than a bath. We are all enjoying the fun and break from the traffic and pollution.

Kate - 'nough said.
We are taking advantage of the claim to fame here in Hoi An - the tailors. The girls are getting clothes and who knows, maybe we will indulge too.
Looks like everyone is having a great time. I can see why Mira is excited with her room. Very posh. I don't see why biking with the girls should attract attention considering what the natives transport on their scooters. However, your method of transport would not pass Uncle Kevin's "Mr. Safety" test.
ReplyDeleteThe Cobourg Rotarians leave for Cambodia Wednesday and are VERY excited that you might join them on their Sweat Equity Project. By the sounds of the weather the "sweat" part shouldn't be hard to accomplish.
Love,
Uncle Scott
Great pics and wonderful day had by all. I agree with Mira, this is a very fancy place. Lovely to have spent a few more days with you. Nice to connect again after so many years and it's been great getting to know the kids a bit more. You've got a lovely family!
