Escaping typhoon Wipha

We just returned from a week long trip to Hoi An and An Bang beach. The UNESCO preserved old town of Hoi An is extraordinary. The architecture is a blend of Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese traditions. The city is over run by tourists in the evenings, but during the day the old buildings are a special treat.

We thought we’d escape the crowds taking a basket boat tour. We were wrong! The coconut mangroves, once the site of a US bombing campaign, is now a major tourist destination. What the US didn’t destroy, the tourists will.
