HOI AN, VIETNAM - AN HOUR ON THE (THU BON) RIVER, MAY 2014

On our trip to the lovely UNESCO Heritage Town of Hoi An, Vietnam (main blog post here), we took a lovely, leisurely boat trip on the Thu Bon River which runs through the Town and out to the open sea.

Whilst having some clothes made we mentioned to the girls at the tailors, that we were about to go to the main jetty in Town to do a boat trip.  In typical Vietnamese style, one of the girls says she will call her Father-in-Law who has a boat.  She then promptly walked us down to the river where we were met by the captain and his boat. 

After negotiating the price - all of US $10, we set off.  It was quite nice having the boat to ourselves.  

LETS DO A DEAL

A BOAT TO OURSELVES

We saw a Fishing Village, fishing nets and some local Fisherman who gave hubby a lesson in throwing a net - we tipped them generously of course!  We returned to Hoi An via a very tranquil inlet, hubby even received the honor of driving the boat (the captain liked us lol!), before being dropped off at the main jetty in Hoi An.  It was such a nice way to spend an hour of our time.
