Hot in the City

OK boys and girls. Am still in Hoi An with Vicky and Clare- who are beginning to insist I mention them and have given me permission to post photos of them here- the fools!! It is bloody hot here so what better place to get a winter jacket made? It is a gorgeous jacket but trying it on in this heat hasn't been fun. Things might have got out of hand with this tailoring thing and all the careful thought that I put into arranging the contents of my rucksack have gone out of the window with all the new additions. Ah well.

Hoi An is a very pretty city- the old area anyway, it starts to get a bit crumbly around the edges the moment you walk away from the old part of the city and by the time you get to the beach the wooden shacks have almost totally taken over from the brick buildings. Unfortunately, it is the kind of place that money just drips through your fingers. Today I am going on a day trip to My Son in the hope that I will spend less- I'll let you know how that works out.

Had a pedicure in the marketplace and my eyebrows threaded the other day. Watched Vicky get her legs threaded. Went to the beach under a deluge of hawkers, not as relaxing as we thought it would be.

Will try and get back to you later- blogger has been a bit hit and miss here. Now it is time for brekkie.
