First day in Hoi An, we hired bicycles to get around Hoi An, just outside the city country life starts and rice paddies everywhere.

A river through the city were lots of fishing is happening.

Many old French influenced houses.

There are many markets throughout Vietnam.

Everything they need has to be brought in by boats of course, here is sand being carried in little baskets on their heads for a new coffee shop being build.

2 day trekking in Sa Pa.

It was a misty start of our two day trekking through the rice fields in Sa pa.

Every now and then it cleared a little bit so we could see closeby fields but none on the hill sides.
