Day Four/Five: Hoi An

Made to Order

Who would have thought Hoi An would be the unknown fashion and food capital of the world? In our time here, we've had bespoke clothing made for extremely reasonable prices and amazingly short lengths of time and eaten an incredible range of the most delicious food.

It's been mentioned in the NYTimes and almost every guidebook and tourist advice I'd came across -- so I wass determined to give it a go. And sceptical as D was, and as full as I was (we just had a pre-dinner 'snack' of spring rolls and calamari salad), we were blown away.
