Today was one of those days which actually felt like a holiday, everyone had the morning of and did whatever they wanted to do. Most of the Ladies went shopping and the men enjoyed a lay in followed by an extended breakfast.
We all met up at noon to go on a walking tour through the beautiful streets of Hoi An. I really love the architecture of the old town, the little houses, shopfronts and cafes, simply stunning and very different to all the other asian city we visited so far.

In the evening 9 of us, went to a cooking school to learn some vietnamese basics. Alex was a bit disappointed that all the ingredients were already chopped for us and all we had to do was putting them in a pan...anyway we learned a lot and it was super tasty.

| Alex in his element. Very focused on his vietnamese pancake. |
