Shopping

Hoi An is known for its shopping and especially for its tailor made clothing. It's very tempting as we walk through the streets and think of all the things we could have made.

It was raining very hard this morning. The pool filled to overflowing, and the streets were flooded with water. Again, it wasn't a day for the beach. Instead the kids went swimming at the pool at the hotel. They were proud of themsleves for fishing out one of those little lizards. It looked pretty lifeless but later in the day it was gone, so we chose to believe it got better and ran away.

We went into the town again. We bought some whistles that were handcrafted by the locals and also some lanterns. It's nice to see them making the items in their shops. You know that they really are made here in Hoi An.

The rest of the day was spent around the hotel. The girls playing with their toys or swimming and Nadim and I reading our books, checking e-mails, drinking tea... Another restful day.
