Hoi An

Arrived in Da nang and negotiated a taxi fare to Hoi An, it was probably the first time that Taxi Men over here wanted to use the meter, but we got a fair price. During our journey to Hoi An he picked up his "friend" while she was nice and everything I felt she was trying to sell us things, she asked did we have a tailor, hotel, are we going shopping, etc..needless to say she got nowhere, as we heard there's a lot of tailors in Hoi An that cut corners (pun intended).

We sorted our accommodation in a middle of the road hotel, Hoi An is the Tailor capital of Vietnam and the city is absolutely littered with tailors. I got myself tailor made: 2 shirts, a suit, 2 trousers and a jacket, Tina got a dress, jacket and some jeans made up. We must be keeping some poor bloke up all night as they told us to come back tomorrow. Other than that we took a walk down the busy streets and treated ourselves to a nice meal after a hard day shopping.
