We did not do much in Hoi An apart wondering around this magnificent town, it's the jewel of Vietnam. Most of the houses are from the 17 th century, in a Chinese style and handed over from generation to generation. The atmosphere is very relaxed, habitants are calm and welcoming.

We visited as well Marble Mountain, a Buddhist monk sanctuary built on and in a mountain. The prominent thing we see it's a tall pagoda but what we did not know is that the whole rock is full of them, even a big cave with a massive Buddha and other pagodas in it. We have rented a motorbike to get there as it is 20k from Hoi An, I have to drive very carefully as Emma is rigid like a piece of steel, remembering the bad adventure we had in Cambodia. On a national road just outside Sihanoukville a truck overpassed another one and was coming directly in toward us. I just had the time to go in the ditch to not have a collision, Emma was shaking and insulted the driver in all the bad French words she could remember.



On our way to Hanoi we will stop the day in Hué to visit the Old citatel, were all the Emperor of the last 300 years lived. The citadel is spectacular and never ending. The whole royal family used to lived there and each of them had their palace. We could not see all of them as the Americans bombed the citadel, but what we saw was worth stopping for the day.
