Yesterday was a good day also. We left on a bus from Hue to Hoi An. The bus ride was interesting. We were told that the bus leaves at 8am. The shuttle to take us to the bus didnt pick us up until 8:30am and we sat at the bus station for about an hour until the shuttle had finished picking everyone else up. We departed from Hue on a 3.5 hour bus ride. The ride included going through a huge tunnel that must have been an engineering feat for this country.
In Hoi An, it took some effort, but we were able to find our hotel. It is a cute little hotel on a dirt road. It is called the Vesper Homestay and we got it for $14 a night! We scored a great deal on this one. We highly recommened this hotel. We think the family that owns this place lives here also. The room actually feels really clean and the people are super nice. Last night we just walked every where, like usual, but today we are going to rent bikes from the hotel to cruise around on.
Just to give you a little insight on money exchange here. Currently the exchange rate is roughly $1 = 21000 VND (Vietnamese Dong). Water usually cost anywhere from 10000 VND to 30000 VND depending on where you buy it. The bikes we are renting for the day cost 30000 VND per bike. Thats about $3 for us to rent the bikes for the day. Not a baf deal. Last night our dinner at a famous restaurant in town was 158000 VND which is roughly $8.
Here is a sample of some fun pictures from last night.
Looks amazing you guys!! Have fun and be safe! Love you!
