Chan May - Vietnam

"App Store"
Today we are at Chan May, in the middle of Vietnam. A small port, with not much here, but convenient for vesting. Today we had a coach trip to Hoi An village. This is an old trader port going back to beyond the 14th Century.

We drove via Da Nang, which still has remains of American Hangers at the old air base, and then into the village. We visited quite a few places, bought some silk, and had a meal by a lake. Some nice beaches around, some posh Hotels, and lots of western tourists enjoying the sunshine.

Pictures include the covered Japanese Bridge, Marble mountain (the marble comes from elsewhere now), some rivers and fishing nets on the way, and the main street and some signs seen in the village.

In the evening local dance and music entertainers came on board, we are staying here overnight and have another tour to Hue tomorrow.
