A week in Hoi An gave us a chance to hang out and enjoy the scenery.
We called these the watermelon smiley face boats and we got to ride one out to our cooking class.
Yep, this time a Vietnamese cooking class, that like our Thai class, started with a trip to the market. Start with the vegetables
Then noodles,
And on to the butcher for some beef tenderloin,
Our cooking class was out in some coconut groves, hence the need for the boat ride, and of course, our conical hats.
Here you can see the ingredients being laid out for my favorite dish discovery in Vietnam so far, Ban Xeo. It's a rice flour batter pancake with pork and shrimps, stuffed with bean sprouts herbs and lettuces, dipped in garlic chilli sauce.
More sights in Hoi An, an epic dragon founation at the Chinese Assembly House
We left Hoi An headed for Nha Trang on an overnight bus. Overnight buses here in Vietnam are sleeper buses. Meaning you don't sit, you lay down, bunk style. This works great if you are short, but I was about an inch too tall to fully stretch out my legs. Still probably more comfortable than sitting for 12 hours.
