HoiAn Bay
HoiAn is a small village whose buildings are still intact as they were many centuriees ago. HoiAn is located about 70 miles from Hanoi in North VietNam. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. The streets are lined not only with the ancient houses, but shops and markets abound. It's a very vibrant and colorful placec! HoiAn Bay is world famous for its jagged karst rocks jutting up out of the water and has been the home to fishing villages forever. I chose to go kayaking in HoiAn Bay instead of the 3-hour bus drive to Hanoi. George took the Hanoi trip and the government's interpretation of the VietNam war and the Hanoi Hilton itself were hard for him to take. Hanoi is a city full of mo-peds and few cars and you literally take your life in your hands trying to cross the streets..no traffic lanes, no taffic lights, just millions of mo-peds full speed across every intersection! Kayaking was terrific..we put in off a VietNamese junk and kayaked through dark caves with flashlights as our only means of telling where the walls were! It was a great experience!
