Andy was back on his early morning run routine, with a 10k jaunt around the nearby paddy fields.

After a relaxing breakfast, we headed back into the picturesque town of Hoi An for some souvenir shopping and more exploring.

We spent the morning wandering around the back streets of Hoi An and taking in the beautiful temples, shops and cafes, before heading to the river to find a suitable stopping point for a coffee and some contemplation/rest!

The Vietnamese have nailed strong coffee and do it so well. We spent an enjoyable hour in a restaurant called the Green Mango, part coffee shop and part ‘husband day care centre’!

Early afternoon we returned back to our hotel, via buggy for some much needed R&R by the pool.

After lulling by the pool and taking advantage of the happy hour(s) at the pool bar, we returned to the town centre for dinner and to catch the lanterns one final time before we leave tomorrow for Ho Chi Minh City.

Today’s rest day was much needed and we are looking forward to getting back on the travel trail in Ho Chi Minh City and seeing what the city has to offer.
