We have spent the last few days travelling further south in the hope that we might catch up with the sunshine. Unfortunately not! So in between seeing lovely Hue then learning to play Shithead in a surf shack on China Beach and wandering the even more lovely Hoi An we have been getting soaked through to our undies.
We really like Hoi An. It's a world heritage site filled with beautiful old merchant houses that now sell every colour of silk you can possibly imagine. It's currently flooded due to the river bursting it's banks from the torrential rain but that hasn't stopped the locals from trying to make money from the inconvenience. The boat that usually takes you along the river can now be taken through the flooded streets......another perfect example of the Vietnamese strong spirit.
It doesn't look like the weather is going to let up so with waterproofs on we are going further south on Sunday to Nha Trang and then Da Lat.
