Day 11 - Hoi An

Last night we were awoken by a monster storm, heavy rain and wind......just the way we like it :)

Bec did her usual thing and was awake well before me, so come lunch time and she had hit the wall.

Breakfast was pretty average and we had to scoff it down as our tour bus to My Son (Mee-Sun) was arriving soon. Breakfast wasn't the usual all you can eat buffet, but instead pick an item on the menu and that's it!!! Me Omlette with Mushroom, Bec's with Ham.

Drive out to My Son was another death ride, but this time we had the added bonus of rain!!!! I swear the bus drivers over here have a death wish and enjoy playing chicken with other buses and trucks.

Finally arrived at My Son and our tour guide took us in to the ruins. First up it was an American Jeep to the top of the ruins. Yep pretty sure they are the same jeeps that was used during the Vietnam War, so it was pretty cool.

Once up at the top of the ruins our guide took us through ruins B, C, and D (Now say it with a weird Asian accient with a bad southern American twang and you have our tour guide) The ruins are amazing, but unfortunatley suffered during the Vietnam War and as a result quite a few were damaged from the American bombings. Still what was still standing was cool to check out.

We also learnt about "Linger" (a statue men worship to enhance their manhood) and i'm pleased to say that my Linger wont be running off any time soon. I did however pass up the opportunity to make my Linger bigger, but Bec tells me i'm just fine how i am and it isn't the size that matters :)

After making our way through the rest of the Ruins A, E and F in the rain, we made our way back down to where the Jeep dropped us off, for the ride back down to our waiting bus. This time in the jeep i was last in, so i had half an ass cheek on the seat and the other half sticking out of the jeep. So i had to hang on everytime we went around a corner, otherwise i would have fallen out over the cliff edge.....

Back in Hoi An and it was lunch time at our favourite restaurant and i think the family who run the restaurant have recgonised us now and are happy to see us everytime we come back. The old man even pulled out Bec's chair for her. Lunch today was Chicken Pho Noodle Soup and our favourite steamed spring rolls.

Rest of the afternoon was wondering around the town and chilling out back at our hotel.

Tomorrow we are off to Nha Trang for some beachside action, but the weather forecast doesn't look good, so we will have to wait and see. After that it's EasyRider Time for 3 days which i can't wait for.

Having problems uploading photos in Vietnam both on Blog and Facebook, so will update when we can. Till then enjoy the stories.

***Quote of Hoi An so far Vietnamise lady measuring me up for my shirt and telling me "You have belly like Budda".......Hmmm i think i need to lay off these spring rolls :)

Catch you all soon.
