#172 Hoi An

From Saigon, we took a one hour flight to stay at a beach town called Hoi An. Hoi An is a small city on the coast of the South China Sea with a population of about 100,000. The town is on an intercoastal waterfront and the resort at which we stayed is on the beach. Hoi An is a very charming historic port town with many restaurants, knick knack shops, and custom clothing stores. It is a fun and interesting place to walk around and seems to be a favorite of backpackers and groups of young people seeing Asia on the cheap.

Our resort was quite nice, though the pool and ocean were a bit chilly for swimming. This did not, however, keep our kids from spending eight hours or more each day in the water. The pictures above show the beach at our resort and some scenes from the town of Hoi An.
