Day 147 - Hoi An to Hanoi

So I'm a little behind and need to get caught up....spent most of today wandering around Hoi An. Probably mentioned it before, but the city has lots of foreign influence and its easy to see as you walk around the old town area...lots of small alleys, foreign architecture, etc...Went to pick up my suit and it needed some last minute adjustments so was cutting it close on time. Finally picked it up at noon and then headed straight to the post office to mail it all home. Not bad price @ $30 for 8 kilos, but it will take 4 months by seamail so you get what you pay for. Anyways, after the post office I had lunch with the Dutch girl who had been hanging out with us the past few days before going to the bus station for my all day journey to Hanoi. Bus left Hoi An @ 2pm and had to change buses in Hue at 5:30pm to the sleeper bus to Hanoi...Sleeping buses in Vietnam are pretty neat. You get your own seat that reclines to almost 180 degrees so its a comfortable way to travel. Roads are definitely a little bumpy but you can still get through and wake up refreshed. Other than listening to the iPod all afternoon/night the day was pretty uneventful...just a lot of travel!
