We headed of for the drive to Hoi An (on the central coast of Vietnam) at around 8:30am. The drive included stops on the top of cloudy Hai Van pass and Lang Co white-sand beach.
We arrived in Hoi An Ancient Town around lunchtime and Mr Hung took us on a short walk to visit a 400 year old Japanese Bridge, a 300 year old Chinese temple and a 200 year old Vietnamese former merchants’ house. We also had lunch at a popular local eatery Bahn Mi Phuong which was delicious but also full of westerners.
After the walk we drove the 4kms to A Bang Beach and our hotel Aira Boutique. This is our base for the final 10 nights of our stay in Vietnam and from here we will explore Hoi An, Da Nang, Marble Mountains, Son Tra, some local homestay activities…and have some “do nothing” days of beachside relaxation too! We went to the beach at 3pm and it was empty but by 5pm it was flooded with locals. It was absolute madness!
