Hoi An! We like you!

Today we are in Hoi An, a beautiful old town on the Thu Bon River.  Hoi An Old Town is a Unesco world heritage sight.  It is beautiful and rather other-worldly at night, with hundreds of silk lanterns lighting up the narrow walkways and restored buildings.  You feel transported to another age while exploring, despite the hordes of tourists. This town is our dream, we can relax at the beach all day and spend our evenings riding our rented bikes through the old town's narrow, secretive alleyways. Our hotel is nice and at 8 dollars a night it is totally reasonable. We could be here for a while. We also heard of a storm that is in the Philippians right now and might be coming this way, arriving tomorrow or the next day, which might influence our travel plans.
