Dalat to Hoi An

After more than 800km I made it to Hoi An.
I spent most of the time riding though. But since I've seen an awful lot of waterfalls, temples and remote villages I was happy enough to miss some.
Weather was sunny (but kinda cold and really windy almost storming) for the first couple of days and constant rain for the last two days. Even though the road from Kontum to Danang is pretty scenic, winding through the rain forest along the old Ho-Chi-Minh trail it would have been really magnificent if I hadn't drenched and freezing. But rain forest didn't get it's name for nothing.

Here are some pics I took from the highway/street/whatever.

church ruins I found along the way

Eventually I made it to Hoi An. A small town on the coast which is a huge tourist destination. The local government worked really well in preserving the traditional style and you have the atmosphere of being in Vietnam 80yrs ago. If there weren't so many tourists and tailor and souvenir shops.

central market


delicious food (pho bo!)


Japanese covered bridge - supposed to be one of the main sights. I was not impressed.


lantern shops


riverside


I'll be setting of to Hue tomorrow since I don't feel like exploring the ancient My Som ruins in the rain.

See you around and have fun!
