Back to Hectic Hanoi
Leaving Hoi An on Sunday morning made me a bit sad. I’d gotten used to the slow pace and relative quietness of the little town. Three Kiwis were sharing a driver with me to the Da Nang Airport. Of course, we struck up a conversation en route to the airport. They were actually on their … Continue reading
Photography-Filled Saturday
Saturday dawned EXTREMELY early for me, having gotten up around 3:30 a.m. or 3:45 a.m. to shower, dress and pack my cameras and accessories. Downstairs in the lobby, one of the hotel staff was asleep on a sofa and another was asleep on a cot. I sat there quietly in the dark. The guy in … Continue reading
Last Day With Friends in Hoi An
Although my alcohol intake had been much higher on Wednesday night than on Tuesday night, I woke up on Thursday morning feeling better than I had on Wednesday morning! I was moving around a little slower, though. Thus, it took me a tad longer to shower, eat breakfast and get all of my miscellany together … Continue reading
Hey, Shorty, It’s My Birthday!
After my all day motorcycle tour with Son, I showered up and met the Aussies, J. and L., at our usual spot. I actually sat at a table in the front while waiting for them. When they walked up, they had two other Aussies with them, M. and J2, whom they’d also met at a … Continue reading
Easy Rider For A Day
On Tuesday, October 22nd, I’d booked an all-day motorcycle tour (as a passenger) with Easyrider Hoi An. Arrangements had been made via E-mail, with payment to be made the day of the tour. The company assured me that rain gear would be provided and that nothing less than a typhoon would cancel the tour. My … Continue reading
Where Were We?
If my memory serves me correctly, we were somewhere on that first Monday in Hoi An and my initial stops at the tailors and shoe makers. Ahhh, yes… The Aussies stopped back by Kimmie Tailors, at which point my orders were put in and ready to get started. The Aussies and I decided to meander … Continue reading
Size Me Up
Hoi An is famous for shoe makers and tailors. Although I was fully aware of this before the trip, the sheer amount one sees within a couple of blocks is overwhelming. Nevertheless, I made it a point to get up early on Monday morning to get started on the task at hand. My first stop … Continue reading
The Entertainment Center, Ha Long Bay and Yum Yum
While out wandering on Friday, I passed a hotel spa and perused their services on offer. Their massages were decently priced and my body was crying out for a massage after about 20 hours of traveling, so I went in. I settled on an hour long aromatherapy massage and followed the young man upstairs. I … Continue reading
Ready for Take-Off
That will be more appropriate for tomorrow, but I’m not planning to do any posting then! In reality, my clothes are packed. I’m simply debating on whether to take a long dress, another pair of pants and 2 more tops. The forecast is for at least 3 days of rain during my 7 in Hoi … Continue reading
