Well the water didn't go up, it actually went down, woo hoo. So the only street left under water was the main street. This meant that we were able to do all the activities we had planned the day before. We started with a 3 hour bike ride though rice paddies and local villages, ending at China Beach. My front bum is very sore.....
We had more shopping time this arvo, yippy. Ian is going to die when he sees the credit card. Oh well. Hoi An is famous for it's tailors and I took advantage of this. I had the most beautiful long silk embroidered coat made, I'm so pleased with it. I can't wait to show it off back home.
We went to another cooking class with a chef that runs a restaurant on the water front. Her restaurant was closed due to the flooding so she set up a cooking class in her house, like you do. She taught herself English by watching the ABC. Her favourite shows are 'Kath & Kim' and 'Playschool' she was friggin hilarious. I kept hearing "Look at me, Ian, Ian, look at me". Thank god there is no seafood extender in Vietnam. We learnt 5 Vietnamese dishes that Ian will be able to replicate when we get home. I didn't pay too much attention, I was happy to just eat the ingredients.....
It was sad to leave Hoi An as it's been my most favourite place so far, but time to move on.
