Halong Bay - Hue and Hoi An April 7th and 8th, 2014

We are now in Hoi An and have had a busy couple of days with photography as we explore some of central Vietnam. 

We drove from Hue to Hoi An yesterday and today spent the day in the markets and traveling on the river that runs through the city. This evening we boarded another boat and visited a small fishing village up the river from Hoi An. The locals don't see many foreigners here so our visit was unique to them. 

Tomorrow early in the morning we fly from Hoi An to Ho Chi Minh City, then head out for the Mekong Delta. 

Good night from Hoi An and enjoy tonights images. James and the trekkers in Vietnam.

Great photos, especially the ones of the kids and it's amazing to see how much the rice has grown. Also great to hear about the Boi Trang Restaurant, it was one of my favorite places to eat. I will have to watch for that show on CNN.
