Hoi An is covered with a thousand coloured lanterns, old ladies sitting by the side of the river with mesmerising faces selling floating candles all creating this beautiful rainbow of colour and mystery….if it wasn’t for the hundreds of tourists it would be truly magical! The food is also utterly incredible…the Banh Mi challenge continued and I can safely say I think we’ve had our lifetimes supply of bread, pork, weird pate and chilli sauce….Vegan February might be required!
We spent a few mornings on An Bang beach, jumping waves, building sandcastles and listening to the fabulously bad New Year Karaoke parties…..reckon even my attempts at stringing together a tune would have a chance of considered being vaguely acceptable here! The build up to Chinese New Year is everywhere and creating a real sense of celebration…
Hoi An gave us a chance to properly unpack, kick back, attempt to get into some kind of routine with the kids schooling – credit to Pads here as I have already been told categorically that my classroom assistant skills have a lot to be desired – so looks like it’s a morning routine of meditation, writing and Joe Wicks for me…..definitely not complaining!….We quite honestly did very little which was exactly what we were aiming for!….
