Our last days in Hoi An again started with a walk around the old town - we were very well located and it made it a nice area for morning and evening strolls! So, a few more shots of old Hoi An to begin with, including, as always, some street food!

The main event of the penultimate day, and a highlight of the trip for me, was a cooking course. Taken by boat to a village and to 'Grandma's House', we got to cook a number of Vietnamese dishes in the garden - and, needless to say, got very stuffed eating them all! We made friends with a lovely Mynah bird too, who came to sample our delicacies.

We finished the trip with an excursion to My Son, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, believed to be the longest inhabited archaeological site in Indochina. My Son is a Hindu temple complex built by the Champa, a united kingdom of various tribes of the Cham ethnic group who ruled South and Central Vietnam from the 3rd Century until 1832.

Notice the Banh Mi again (bread rolls)? They really did become a favourite on the trip. Anyway - that's all from Vietnam. Hope you enjoyed the travels with us!
Take Care and keep writing, love and hugs,
