Mui Ne and Hoi An

Mui Ne is a beach up the cost from Ho Chi Minh city you can kite surf and visit some sand dunes. It was a bit too quiet for me on my own. I managed to go for a tour up some red sand dunes which were ok. A bunch of young kids follow you asking whether 'you want to slide miss' ie whether you want to rent a plastic sheet from them to slide down the dunes.

Hoi An is a pretty town that is UNESCO heritage listed because it has old French- style buildings. This town has somehow become a tourist attractions for its ability to tailer clothes. Funny because Vietnamese people generally don't wear suits! I wonder how they got to have 400 tailors.

I made a day trip to My Son from Hoi An where the Cham people built some Hindu temples. The ruins of them are left and they are over 1000 years old. Quite amazing.
