Hoi An, Vietnam: Riverside Resort


View from our balcony.


The put-putting ferry boats.



January 5, 2011

Our Hoi An hotel may have been my favorite of the whole 3 week trip, with our little house with a balcony overlooking the river. It was peaceful and the kids could run the grounds. And, like everything in Vietnam, that slow river was positively buzzing with industrious traffic. Fishermen, yes. But, the loudest and perhaps my favorite -- The LOUD river ferry starting put-putting at 5am sharp, ferrying the hard working early wet market workers, their motorbikes, and their fish over to Hoi An central. Click HERE to see the river life and noise from our balcony.

We ate every breakfast overlooking the river, with Ken and I getting an unexpected blessing from this resort, the real reason we loved it -- The kids would leave us to enjoy our Vietnamese coffees when they'd run off to play pool every morning.
