Hoi An 21/7


Today we rented motorbikes (mopeds, automatic) 100,000 Dong for the day. Thats about $5!. Went with Marissa, Adam and Karen. So we got 2 and shared. Marissa used to ride so she did it first. They started us out in the centre of town which was..wise. First road we almost crashed into a truck! Literally millimeters away from it, pretty scary/funny. We stopped at a gas station and I tried to get out but had to turn around, had no idea how to start it or anything, had Marissa on the back, I accelerated into an SUV. Fell off. Cut up my toe. SO, she drove from then on..I was too much of a hazard. We then drove and stopped off at a deserted beach..so lush. While they stayed there I went off on my own for a bit..driving down this open empty road at 90KPH, which felt sooo awesome!

We just had an awful dinner! The food took ages to come..I ordered a pizza, we were joking about it being the size of a Dominos personal pizza. We were wrong. It was SMALLER. Tasted like cardboard. All our food was pretty hilariously bad. But out time in Hoi An was a really pretty town, with so many tailor shops.
