Arrival in Hoi An on 24th December

Hoi An a lovely city which lives up to all of the hype in the travel guides and the reports from friends who had visited the area earlier.
Checked into surprisingly upmarket Golf Hotel walk into the centre to get our bearings.

Craig soon picks up the vibes that the first priority of his oldies is to check out the local tailors who have gained a real reputation for makng up garments in a very short space of time. He therefore heads off on his own for more interesting pursuits.
We eventually find Yally's which seems to be one of the more reputable tailors, place our order at 3.00pm, have a first fitting at 6.00 and walk out with our garments at 7.00 pm ( blazer for me and pants for Gail)
Meet up with Craig early evening and after experiencing a magical sunset over one of the bridges we have very pleasant Christmas Eve dinner overlooking the river.
Back to hotel for relatively early night as off next day to My Son.
The Obese Ferret.
