We're back in Hoi An

After such a great holiday last year, we're back in Hoi An again - really because the flight to HCM is so short from Brunei, it's very economical and we couldn't get a decent family hotel in any other beach resort in Vietnam. It's nice to be back and we headed straight to our favorite restaurant, Cargo Club which was as good as we remembered it. We even bumped into another expat family from Brunei there

Unexpectedly the weather is much cooler than it was last year. Last year was sun all week we were here and we even had a few days on the beach. Much to our surprise when we landed in Danang today it was a jumper day. Nice change from balmy Brunei ~ that is if you are prepared for it. Luckily I had packed the kids and myself a cardie each but Donncha didn't as we brought it all last year and didn't need any. Still it feels like an Irish summer he says!

We're not staying at the same hotel as we did last time and opted for the Long Life Riverside which conveniently is in the centre of town and so far seems great. For US$75 the room is large for the 5 of us, clean, has wifi (thus the post), all the TV channels and there's even a PC in the room. I've read that breakfast isn't so great but after all that who cares cos Cargo is just 2 mins walk away! Hopefully the weather will get better and we don't end up crawling the walls!!
