In a place where the norms regarding facial features are so different to our own, suffering from prosopagnosia is to be expected. One is apt to embarrass oneself by introducing oneself AGAIN! Only in the last few days am I able to define someone other than the short guy with black hair and almond eyes…

After a harrowing 740km bus trip we finally made it to Hoi An, a quaint picturesque town 760km South of Ha Noi. Beaten and bruised, well that is what it felt like. There were serious road works enroute and the ride was certainly not as smooth as it could have been. But, nothing a shower and a nap in an airconned room on a somewhat firm mattress couldn’t fix!

Took some sweet spot shots yesterday evening, awoke early this morning to do the same….. its just such a pleasant thing to do. Obviously it would be a whole lot better if we were able to lug the AC unit with us, as from around 07h00 AM one starts to show signs of being in a warm climate. Signs include, dripping and melting around the edges. Needing to rest, constantly on the lookout for Ca Phè Suã đà and odd things like Kem Kep for breakfast .(Iced coffee with condensed milk and ice-cream sandwiches for those unfamiliar with the local lingo)
