Vietnam Part 3: Hoi An

Leaving Hanoi for our trip to Hoi An (via Da Nang), Nha Trang, and then finally Saigon (where we'd meet up with David and Zoe again)

Leaving Hanoi and Hoi An day 1:


Leaving my brother David in Hanoi for Noi Bai airport


Found instant noodles at the airport.  WINNING! (Sorry, NGUYENNING!)


After taking the bus to our plane, we are finally able to board and be on our way!


The view of our hotel pool form our awesome hotel room in Hoi An.  IT WAS AWESOME!
We stayed in our room watching movies for quite some time, finally we got up to go get some food.


We devoured our dinner at Good Morning Vietnam


It was so good we forgot to take a before picture!


Lots of shops on the streets of Hoi An.  It's kind of what it's known for...


This one was my favorite.  Loved the birdcages.  Reminiscent of cute Austin boutiques.


Colorful boats along the riverbank.

Hoi An Day 2:

These roosters woke me up at 5:30.  And 5:35.  And... you get the point.


BREAKFAST!  With BACON!  Which was more like... think semi-crispy ham.


Made it out to our "private" beach.


The first of the beach hawkers.  My favorite. :)


Grandma #1, not to be confused with...


Grandma #2


College kid... or so he said.


All my souvenirs they talked me into buying.  What can I say, I have a bleeding heart.


Sommer, just hanging out


Me, reading to pig out

Leaving Hoi An & heading toward Nha Trang on a train:


Jade Palace on Jade Mountain.  I might've just made that up.  Our taxi driver FORCED us to stop at this stop.  It was kind of weird and shady...


China Beach, on our way into Da Nang


On the train to Nha Trang


STOP TAKING PICTURES OF ME SOMMER!


Express Train ticket.  You must keep track of this or you have to pay for the WHOLE TRAIN TICKET when you get to your destination.  Did NOT know this.


Countryside view from the train.


More countryside view from the train.


... we finally got to our SHERATON hotel in Nha Trang.  It was baller.  And you could see from the room to the bathroom.  So... awesome.
