Hoi An - Blogabond

A charming Riverside city, lots of bustling little streets with food market stalls - and lots of places to shop! Kind of a nightmare when you shouldn't really be purchasing, but here you can have anything you want hand made - ranging from leather sandals & boots, to winter coats & suits. All of which a fraction of the price you pay back at home
Unfortunately Danny got really sick here & spent 4 days in bed, so we didn't really explore the place other than to take a stroll up & down the River. But actually that in itself was lovely, and I felt quite at home just wandering around & browsing, visiting the food markets & eating on my own.

One event that we were lucky enough to see, was the Dragon Dancing festival, which all of the kids in the city would take part in. Around the streets at night they'd be beating their drums & dancing beneath the Dragon suits - putting on a show for everyone to see. It was great fun to watch
