OK, even if you usually just skim my blog… I have a feeling you started reading this entry.
We had breakfast and then got the scooters, and armed with a horrible map on a small piece of paper, we headed on in search of the ruins. We did a pretty amazing job of getting there. We asked for directions along the way, but we managed to never make a wrong turn which was really good, especially considering the map wasn’t used at all.
The ruins themselves were quite neat. It was more Mayan-esque than what we saw in Ayutthaya, surrounded by jungle, vegetation crawling over the ruins, streams running through the area. We saw a few different neat lizards around there too.
After we were done with the ruins, we headed back, this time enjoying the views a little more, stopping for pictures, and grabbing some random food from a local restaurant. Scooters are really they way to travel over here. After getting back to Hoi An, we checked out Amy’s tailored stuff and then hit the internet cafe. Food and massage are the plans for the evening. Everything closes really early here (9:00ish.) We travel by train tomorrow in hard sleepers to Saigon (Ho Chi Min City) where the goal is to spend maybe 2 days and then booking it up to Cambodia. We are feeling our beach lounging days waste away and we are really excited to get there, so we are taking it up a notch with the actual planning.
