6 Days in Hoi An

If Disney were to design a 15th century trading port in Vietnam it would look like Hoi An Ancient Town. I got sucked in by the Disney; booked for three nights, stayed for 6.
It is a beautiful place but the centre is dominated by tourism and somehow it has managed to stay fairly tasteful. It is also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage
I cycled to a pottery villiage expecting to find some nice ceramics. All that was there was tiles and bricks. Still, it was a nice ride and interesting to see.
I had a rest on the way back and some hammock time.
It was a short cycle to Cua Dai Beach where a spent 4 of my 6 days.
Hoi An is also famous for all its tailor shops. I managed to only spend $10 on two dresses.
