Hoi An Night Market
 After exploring Old Town, we made our
way back over the bridge to ‘our side’.
     Dozens and dozens
of eateries, all offering similar food from Chinese, Vietnamese, Pizza
and the odd burger all had whippets outside trying to get us to take a seat,
enjoy Happy Hour interspersed with massage parlours and all that goes on in
those establishments. The riverside did get prettier as all the lanterns began
to be lit.
  Our fancy hadn’t yet been arrested
enough to stop, so we headed down a side street,
drooled at the pile of teak and took in the fantastic
aroma of fresh-sawn wood. On we went to the end of the road, passing quaint
little home-stays and tiny hotels.
 Even the simplest of things here can
be colourful.
   We turned left at the end of the
street and found ourselves in the busy night market,
all lit and ready for heavy bartering.
   Now this lady had the knack and soon
we were settling in the Red Gecko. Our thirty five year old
waitress who looked about nine (probably owner) had us around her thumb.
Once seated we were fair game to the mobile sellers, this lady selling fruit. Bear took it all in his stride as he
sipped his Japanese Sling.
   We thoroughly enjoyed our supper and
took side streets back to the river to see it in the
dark.
  Possibly our final
Christmas decorations for this year.
    We took in the
river and many floating lanterns.
 Back to our
digs.
   Wish the lone
chap at the bottom of the stairs had some weed to hide in and scruff
about a bit. All quiet at the pool. A lovely wall frieze on our landing, time for a film or two after a
long soak in the full-sized bath.
ALL IN ALL LOVELY FOOD, GREAT
ATMOSPHERE
GOOD TO BE IN THE HUSTLE AND
BUSTLE |
