We headed still further south to the touristy tailoring town of HoiAn. We both made quick steps towards the tailors, of which there are an overwhelming number, and had a fun time getting measured up for a few frocks (me) and a three piece (Tom, obvs). We picked out the fabrics and styles we liked and the tailors created them with speed and ease. We returned for a few alterations over the course of the four or so days that we were there which all seemed rather glamorous.

We took a day trip to My Son which is apparently the Vietnamese version of Angkor. Hmm, optimistic! The countryside ride there though was of course beautiful and super chilled with rice paddies dotting the landscape.

| Views over to the Old Town |
The town itself was easily navigable on foot and by bicycle and it was a lovely relief to find that no motorised vehicles were allowed within the Old Town which took the edge off strolling along the quaint roads. On our last day we cycled over the bridge to view the pretty Old Town whilst dining alongside the river. And at Chips and Fish Tom had possibly the best fish and chips of his life. I am a big Brits fish n chips n mushy peas fan but these "chips and fish" were perfection! The batter was mixed up with herbs to coat the super fresh fish chunks and the condiment was a super divine lime juice, salt and pepper combo (super simple and super delish). This fresh dip may very well overtake my mayonnaise condiment obsession! (Although out here mayo is a rarity which my arteries are probs most grateful for!)
