Day 4 Hoi An
Today began with a tour through the market followed by a cooking class. We made spring rolls, Vietnamese pancakes, and Eggplant cooked in a clay pot. I think I did well. Everything was very tasty. Afterwards we walked the town, and I stepped into the tailors ABD recommended and had a couple of shirts and some pants made. We constructed paper lanterns after that. (I'm back home and thankfully they survived the trip.) Then back to the resort we went for pool and relaxation time.
That evening we were on our own and headed back into town for dinner. We ate at the Cargo Club which was nice as you can request a table on the balcony overlooking the river. They have lanterns lighting the balcony. All very picturesque. We walked around town a bit more. The streets beyond the Cargo Club are all decorated with hanging lanterns. All very pretty. I had never heard of Hoi An before planning this trip and I'm very glad we went. It's a nice change of pace between Saigon and Hanoi.
