We had a lovely few days in Hoi An. It really is such a special town and wish our family and friends would experience it for themselves. Our hotel Long Life Riverside was exceptional. In the dozens of hotels that we have stayed in as a family, I don't think any other hotel has met with our needs as well as this little hotel did and at US$75 a night we were happy customers. It was clean, spacious, friendly and helpful staff and the breakfast was surprisingly very good. In all everything was much better than the hotel we stayed in last year that was 3x the price. And on departure this morning, Iman and I were given a small gift each and the front desk staff came out to wave us goodbye ... something you don't get in a 5*hotel!
I would post more pictures but unfortunately we left the camera in a taxi today in HCM. We're still hoping that the driver would come back with it (wishful thinking) and the staff here at the Somerset are trying to find the taxi number from their security cameras. Luckily I have been downloading the photographs and on the card was only photographs from the beach yesterday and dinner last night. These things happen and when they do there's not much we can do but be thankful that all we lost is a material thing. We are all safe and well and that's all that matters. The person most upset by it was Iman and now says that I can have her camera.
So in this New Year's Eve from HCM city, we wish all our family and friends a Happy New Year and all the best for 2011. May this new year bring us all happiness and good health.
