Our last ‘rest’ day in Hoi An, before tomorrow’s planned trip to Cham Island. The first part of the morning was spent in our favourite spot at the roof top pool, where we finished reading our latest books.

As the weather steadily improved, we opted for some time down at the beach.

The hotel has such a good set up and within 30mins we were on their courtesy bus heading to Bai Bien Ha My beach for the sunshine.

As luck would have it, we managed to snare two beds in a prime spot on the beach and so we settled in for some R&R!

Michelle has become a real devout reader, never missing the opportunity to read a chapter or two of her latest novel find, and so it was today.

Andy took himself off for a wander along the beach to check out what looked like a beached whale/upped turned boat, but proved to be some kind of sand breakwater wrapped in thick black plastic sheeting.

The walk back down the beach was more scenic, with a run of coconut trees, where the beach mets the land, and in the midst of this a huge array of umbrellas for the tourist throng. Today however most of the beach beds were empty due to the cloudy start.

With only a few hours of sun worshipping on offer, Andy stuck to the task and having finished his latest spy novel he took to listening to some tunes on Soundcloud.

We have made the most of our hotels chain of bars and restaurants, and the one down at the beach was ideal. Chilled music, good food and a relaxing vibe.

We returned to the hotel late afternoon and had planned to go to a restaurant locally, but Michelle felt a little off colour, so we opted for food at the hotel and a quiet night.
