My Son and Hoi An

A much better day today with only slight drizzle in the morning but warm and sunny this afternoon.
In the morning we drove to My Son (pronounced Me Sun and meaning beautiful mountain) the site of the 6th to 12th centuary Cham temples. Only a few remain and have been recently partially restored, but many are ruins, destroyed by a combination of time weather and war.
We returned to Hoi An for lunch and then a walking tour of the old town, with many picturesque streets old wooden houses a Japanese Bridge and Chinese temples.
We went back to the taylors for our first fitting of our new clothes before heading back to he hotel for a dip in the fabulous pool, although Lindsay seems quite relaxed on the outdoor sofas by our villa!
