Next stop in Vietnam was Hoi An. Really kitschy and touristy, but we both loved our 6 nights here. We spent a day exploring (and getting very lost) on nearby Cam Kim Island on bikes.
We visited some of Hoi An's famous tailors and got some custom-tailored clothes. $17 shirts, $24pants, $20 shorts, $55 shoes, and $118 suit, all custom fit to my skinny, lanky ass. Sheri got a jumper, 2 dresses, shoes, and a shirt (all for about $200). We had fun, and had to resist buying more.
One of our favorite parts was the Bia Hoi - fresh beer. Made fresh every morning (and only good for a day). At $.10 - $.16 a glass, we had quite a few. Kind of tasted like a Japanese beer like Kirin mixed with a bud light. Not bad at all.
The face of the monster....
Sheri devouring her 1st Bahn Mi (Vietnamese sandwich). We went to the place that Anthony Bourdain went to on his Vietnam episode in the Hoi An market.
