Vietnam - Hoi An

Hoi An was in my opinion the nicest place we visited.  It was so pretty and less busy with motorbikes as they stopped them going down the main street early evening so you could walk around without the fear of many close shaves!  On our last day before going to the train station we did a Hoi An street food tour which was fantastic.

The town had a large Chinese community and they were celebrating the New Year still (15 days after Tet)
