Early morning start but feeling a lot more rested after our day in lovely Hoi An. This town is so cute - full of tourists for a reason! We did a walking tour in the morning, hearing the history of the place, seeing a musical performance, and seeing the cup of Confucius - apparently the only one in the world. So the cup has a hole in the bottom and story goes that if you fill it 80% with water, the water still remains in the cup. Any more than 80% and it all falls through the whole...and is symbolic for how one should live their life. (Wasn't allowed to test it). A bridge that connects the former Japanese and Chinese sides of the town, a bit of shopping and a cooking class....and I must admit, I kind of miss the cycling! So thought we could share some of the random scenes on the way we have passed....it is such fascinating countryside alive with people and nature!

Much love,
