Hoi An was such a cute and charming little town. Cherine, a new friend from Switzerland and I really enjoyed walking around and seeing all the lanterns strung up. It was nice to be able to stay there for 3 days and 2 nights and feel like we were getting a rest from the hustle and bustle of the tour. This was also our first and only hotel that had a swimming pool, so I definitely took advantage of that.
My underwater camera is always a hit! Goofing around with some of my tour mates in the pool.
Hoi An was incredibly beautiful at night with all the lanterns lit up. There were a lot of street vendors selling lit up toys and such. It is tradition in Hoi An to put a floating candle into the river for good luck. You make a wish and then off it goes!
Hoi An is very popular for their tailors and many people come here to get custom clothes made. Quite a few of my tour mates chose to get dresses and suits made while they were here. It is mind blowing how people can make a whole suit in such a short period of time! I went with Michael, a new friend from Australia to his fitting and was blown away at the whole operation.

Such a beautiful little city and I look forward to coming back here one day! Cherine and I joke about coming back one day to get custom wedding dresses made. If you go to Vietnam, Hoi An is a must go place!
