I'm going for a ride...

I'm going riding on a bus!

We rode the hot bus from Hue to Hoi An; $4 for 4 hours of bumpy road and barely working AC.

Around 1pm we arrived in Hoi An and were immediately overwhelmed with touts trying to get us to go to their hotel. Strangely one held a sign that said "Mr Ryan Klann" and another said" Mr Paul W". Surprised? We were, but I guess our non-committal response to a hotel recommendation from the last hotel was taken as a reservation. Oops!

We politely told them no and hired a cab for the hotel we wanted. But $25 for a room for one night? Scandalous, so we went across the street for $12. It is a nice place too!

After lunch we rented two scooters and made scuba reservations for tomorrow, had lunch and I picked up some beer for tonight around the pool.

Tomorrow we go scuba. Ryan and I are both certified divers so we will do two dives, Leah will do a fun dive (less than 10m) and Holly will snorkel as she can't do scuba. It's going to be fun!
