18 hours later...

Our longest journey so far (EVER!) was the 18 hour coach journey from Hanoi to Hoi An. Made all the better by the drugs they sell you in Vietnamese pharmacies to make you sleep!
We arrived in Hoi An and the place is very pretty but unfortunately the weather is pretty bad,it's raining and grey (much like home I expect!). This is the place to get taylor made clothes, they can make perfect copies of anything you like, even Oscar winning dresses. Oh if only there was room in the backpack (Matt what's that UPS account number again?) and also Chris is upset because the beer Hoi here is more expensive and costs 15p!
We've got a nice hotel with a pool (raining though) but it's nice to have a comfi bed and clean surroundings.
Tomorrow we're going to wrap up in our cagoules, hire a dog, and take it for a walk down the beach.
Hope you're all enjoying your time off and getting to play with your Christmas toys, Chris will feel much better when you're back at work next week. Can someone who went skiing in Austria last week send us a detailed report please???

We'll put some pics up when we find a better place to use the net (v. slow here).
