27 Mar 2007…
In the morning, we took a 3 hours bus ride from Hue to HoiAn, a charming and peaceful small town. It is sometimes called the Venice of Vietnam because of the narrow canal that cuts through part of the town. You can see rows of tiled roof shop houses beautifully decorated with colorful lantern. This town is most beautiful at night when all the lanterns are lighted.
Hanh brought us to Pho Noi Restaurant for a sumptuous lunch, and then we took a minibus (provided by the hotel) to the popular Cua Dai beach. Danny and I went for a swim. The ladies were enjoying their coconut drink under by the beach. This place is clean and less crowded. I like this place very much!
We then took a walk in the Hoi An town. We chanced upon an interesting silk making shop. The shop assistant showed us the whole process of silk making, beginning from rearing silk worm, to formation of cocoon and finally to the making of silk. When a cocoon is uncoiled, it’s about a few hundred meters long. Silk strand from multiple cocoons are then twisted together to form one silk thread.
We went for dinner at Trung Bac. We had the HoiAn popular dish called Cao Lau. It’s simple and yet tasty.
