The next stop on our tour of Vietnam was Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This was a charming little city located on the coast and is a very well preserved trading post from the 15th to the 19th century. We did a lot of wandering the streets of the Old Town which were closed to cars and motorbikes, eating great Vietnamese food, getting clothes made and soaking up the culture. While the weather wasn't fantastic the few days we were there, it was still a great time!
